You'll Never Walk Alone!

So there's a tradition at this convention that is absolutely the coolest thing ever (if you're a band dork). There are 4 honor bands and we end with 2 concerts, each with 2 of the bands. At the end of each concert, the two bands combine to play "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Rogers/Hammerstein's "Carousel." The seniors all stand and we sing to them:

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
and don't be afraid the dark.

At the end of the storm
is a golden sky
and the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind;
walk on through the rain
though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on
with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone.

You'll never walk alone.

Okay, so i'm not a band geek but I am a chorus nerd...
I love that song! We sang taht all the way through my choir career from 5th -12th grade! I'm sure if I had stayed in ensembles and such in college we'd have sung it then too...

YEah! We can sing it together when we're floating on jeremiah in the water hole! (when it warms up for christmas of course!)
