I had to share this email I received about D-man. It warmed my heart and will keep him alive for another day or two;)
This is Jordan Patterson, Donavan's band director. I just wanted to let
you know how proud of Donavan I am. Donavan recently switched to
Baritone; he came to me and asked me if it would possible to switch as
he was getting somewhat bored with Trombone. Usually I would tell a
student to wait it out and give their instrument more of a chance, but
with a student as intelligent and motivated as Donavan, I had no issues
with him switching. When Donavan came to class after winter break, I
told him what to start working on in book 1, and he replied "oh I
already went through all of book 1 over break." He JUST made the switch
to baritone and he already is caught up to where the rest of the class
is, all due to his hard work! I am very thankful for the opportunity to
teach a student like Donavan.
