Today I found out that my old Band Director, Mr. C, died this morning from the cancer that he has been battling for about two years now. I'm going to miss him a lot, and I'm sad that I'll never be able to see him again, to never be able to make more memories with him. He was some crazy old guy with an awesome attitude, a good spirit, a wacky sense of humor, and very strict at times. I just would like to share a memory of him with everyone who is reading.
I remember the day that Mr. C taught us a new dance for a song that we had to march at half time. It was very strange to see a man who is 8 inches shorter than me and who is seemingly always so strict and disciplined suddenly turn on the music and start dancing. A huge grin broke out across his face as he watched the rest of us try to mirror his moves. I will never forget how he laughed at the band as we tried to dance along with him, I will never forget that smile, I will never forget him.
Thank you Mr. C, for all the lives you've touched, for all the memories you've given us, thanks. <3 Rest in peace.
