Listening to the Band Rehearse

The band’s composed of middle-schoolers

From within the state.

Most have never met before,

Yet right from out the gate, 


Their music sounds incredible,

Professional and full

And any passerby would feel

Its strong inviting pull.


Of course, I try to listen for

One close-to-me trombone,

But in a band the point is that

No sound exists alone.


We’ll attend the concert later

Yet I’m glad we happened by,

Catching part of the rehearsal;

Kvelling* privileges apply.


*bubbling over with immense joy (Yiddish)
