"I am most proud of the culture of engagement and responsibility we have fostered in the Boston College Bands. Although our students are committed to achieving artistic excellence, very few of them are majoring in music. The vast majority are pursuing careers in education, social work, business, law, medicine, etc. And yet, despite their grueling academic demands, they each devote approximately 250 hours of service to the band in a single semester. Our students make this extraordinary commitment because of their love for each other and the University. Their enthusiasm makes every rehearsal and performance enjoyable. If you've walked through lower campus on a Tuesday or Thursday evening in the fall, you've inevitably heard them preparing their literature. It's an awe-inspiring experience to be in the same space and feel that energy, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be able to work with such a dedicated and talented group of students." - David Healey, Marching Band Director who was named president of ACC Band Directors Association | READ MORE: https://on.bc.edu/DavidHealey
