NOT A SINGLE NOTE
A Marching Band is No Accident. In fact, Not a Single Note could be performed without great planning and hard work!
A Marching Band has significant Elements of
Preparation before a Performance:
- Performers ~ Must Practice, Follow Instructions, be Dedicated, have Coordination, Strength, and good Health
- Instruments ~ Must be Invented, Manufactured, Purchased, and Tuned
- Music ~ Must be Inspired, Written, Orchestrated, Instructed, Harmonized, and Conducted
- Choreography ~ Must be Designed, Planned, and then utilize Teamwork
- Uniforms ~ Must be Fabricated, Sewn, Altered, and occasionally Cleaned
- A Location ~ Must be Constructed, Prepared, and Maintained
- An Audience ~ Must be Invited, have Appreciation, and provide Financial Support
A Marching Band takes Intelligence, Design, and Coordinated Action!
Now let’s compare
a Marching Band with
Life on Earth.
Is Life on Earth a fortuitous accident?
No!
And now, my sons [and daughters], I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning;
for there is a God, and he created all things, both the heavens and the earth,
and all things to act and things to be acted upon. (2 Nephi 2:14)
Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth;
believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth;
believe that man doth not comprehend all the things
which the Lord can comprehend. (Mosiah 4:9)
A Marching Band is No Accident. Your Life on Earth is No Accident. In fact, Not a Single Note and Not a Single Life on earth could have ever been…without planning and hard work!
