Inspiration, by Noah Gorman
“The strongest impact any teacher has given me.”
“He taught me how to be accountable for myself even when no one is watching.”
“He's taught me how to be a great leader.”
“An inspiration to us all.”
Opening with a solo piano, then a moving trombone solo to set the mood, Inspiration is a powerful piece from beginning to end. The piece represents memories from the West Bloomfield High School Bands, from the first concert, to the pit, to marching band and back again. This piece is dedicated to Chad Mielens, a phenomenal director through the composer’s time at West Bloomfield. Teachers help and inspire every day, leaving an impact to last a lifetime. Mr. Mielens was no exception.
