Simply wonderful

I will start with a disclosure: I'm the film's publicity director. That said, that also means I've viewed the film at least two dozen times, and watched it grow from scattered 4-5 minute clips pulled from over 300 hours of footage into 80 minutes of good, wholesome entertainment. The film has a positive message for kids of all ages and backgrounds, and Mr. Watson and his staff are true everyday heroes to the DC community. I hope you enjoy it!

A family friendly inspirational film! Great for use in middle school or High School classrooms to help teach Civil Rights and Education Reform.

A must see for every High School band director and music teacher!
