Kaci Cotter, D.R. Middle School Director of BandsCacophony in the band room
Random notes flung at the walls
Issued from eager green musicians
Who twine the middle school halls.
Just babies really
Budding in that awkward way
With fits and starts and
Tinny squeals as they learn to play.
But in all that noise
Lie the golden strands
That when timed just right
Open the portal to magic lands.
Ahhh, and up, up she goes,
A massive bird taking flight
Carried by the fledglings
She soars high, gyrating crisp and bright.
And all around in every ear
Blooms this sweet nectar of the gods
Drawn forth by one so skilled,
The wielder of the divining rod.
