00:01.419 --> 00:03.475
There is , there's something special

00:03.475 --> 00:05.739
about today that goes beyond just

00:05.750 --> 00:07.769
playing music . There's something

00:07.780 --> 00:09.939
special about the , the theme of

00:09.949 --> 00:11.782
veterans that the theme of being

00:11.782 --> 00:13.838
grateful for , for those who serve .

00:13.838 --> 00:15.782
And I think that's creating a , an

00:15.782 --> 00:17.949
impact on the , on the communities and

00:17.949 --> 00:20.171
the students that want to participate .

00:20.171 --> 00:22.393
And I feel like they're being connected

00:22.393 --> 00:24.770
to our military today . We are hosting

00:24.780 --> 00:27.610
the second um of its kind , the

00:27.620 --> 00:29.620
Veterans Day concert for the public

00:29.620 --> 00:31.842
here at the Capitol Arts Center . We're

00:31.842 --> 00:34.009
so excited about this concert . They ,

00:34.009 --> 00:36.231
they loved it last year . We do a great

00:36.231 --> 00:38.453
job of really making them feel valued .

00:38.453 --> 00:40.620
They get like a certificate at the end

00:40.620 --> 00:42.676
and um they're gonna get a challenge

00:42.676 --> 00:44.950
coin this year and they are always so

00:44.959 --> 00:47.070
motivated to learn this music because

00:47.070 --> 00:49.126
it's a higher caliber than what they

00:49.126 --> 00:51.430
play at school . Um So they're always

00:51.439 --> 00:53.661
asking me , all right , can we , can we

00:53.661 --> 00:55.772
get ready for this ? And they want to

00:55.772 --> 00:57.995
have rehearsals , which is , you know ,

00:57.995 --> 00:59.995
seeing that intrinsic motivation is

00:59.995 --> 01:02.106
really great . My son is a drummer in

01:02.106 --> 01:04.050
the 39th Army band and this is our

01:04.050 --> 01:06.106
second year doing this . Already , I

01:06.106 --> 01:08.272
can tell that the crowd has swelled by

01:08.272 --> 01:10.328
about double . So we're very excited

01:10.328 --> 01:12.472
about that . And what better occasion

01:12.483 --> 01:14.833
than right before Veterans Day to have

01:14.843 --> 01:17.742
this event being presented by the 39th

01:17.752 --> 01:19.641
Family Band of New Hampshire . My

01:19.641 --> 01:21.863
husband's in the National Guard Guard .

01:21.863 --> 01:24.085
He's a recruiter . So , um , I was here

01:24.085 --> 01:26.141
to support him and the , the rest of

01:26.141 --> 01:28.585
the garden . We love music . So , and

01:28.596 --> 01:30.725
to share in those that serve that are

01:30.736 --> 01:33.655
gone before us as well . What are you

01:33.666 --> 01:37.625
excited about the

01:38.695 --> 01:40.865
movie , the movie theater ? I feel

01:40.875 --> 01:43.255
really great . I love the army and

01:43.265 --> 01:45.596
they're doing a great job to bring us

01:45.615 --> 01:48.816
vets back together again . It's , it's

01:48.825 --> 01:50.881
really , really , it's gold . That's

01:50.881 --> 01:51.625
what I call it .
