LINK

He was a music teacher and I believe the band director while I was at Catholic. He is a great guy and this gave me goosebumps.

Taps tears me up. Had a couple of older military relatives who had taps played for them after passing. They were older and they lived a good life, so I wasn't gonna be grieving as much as laughing with people about the awesome life they lived. However, when Taps was played I became all emotional.

Men and women who die in the line of service are true heroes.

I have heard taps play too many times. Still gives me chills.

Even hearing it once is too many.

I'm not in the least bit ashamed to admit that I've had tears in my eyes a bunch of the past two days, and this was another occurrence. And I think anyone that lives in Baton Rouge and says they haven't is without a heart and without a soul. Thanks for sharing OP.

I'm conflicted. I really disliked him at CHS, but there's no way you can feel anything but pride with that video.

For whatever it's worth, his wife that posted the video teaches/taught at CHS as well. Not sure if she's still there.

He transferred to MBS, he is doing band and security. I really miss his strictness over the band program. I have one that just finished and one that is a sophmore. He left them with a good foundation.
