I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT. IF IT WASN'T FOR BAND, I PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN A DROPOUT. I'M SO HAPPY THAT PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD CAN SEE HOW MUSIC INFLUENCE YOUNG CHILDREN. AND I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE MY ALMA MATER, O. PERRY WALKER, FEATURED IN THIS DOCUMENTARY. MR. RAWLINS IS THE BEST BAND DIRECTOR. I REALLY ENJOYED BEING UNDER HIS DIRECTION AT CARVER BEFORE KATRINA AND AT WALKER AFTER KATRINA. AND I REALLY MISS BRANDON. MAY HE REST IN PEACE. WE MISS YOU ( IN MY BAND VOICE). LOL

[djunior2011]

Why won't you allow this video to be embedded? I tell you from experience, many people will not hit on a link, but they will hit on a video. I am trying to get the word out on you wonderful project. I think you are making a mistake. Still a fantastic teaser. The emotion is overpowering. A New Orleanian that knows it is important.

This is why we love New Orleans. In spite of all the many problems, just hearing this music can transport you and help you transcend the bad energy. Beautiful! I would love to contribute, participate, volunteer, anything to help spread this word, this art, this glimpse into the sou of New Orleans' folks. Let us know how we can help.

Words cannot express what this film is about... It's that feeling you

get when you hear "that song"... For all of us it's a different song..

And although we are different we may have walked in the same shoes..

It's like he said, when we hear that first beat all our worries and

troubles disappear... The people in this f...ilm are all heros.. I am so

proud to be a part of something so special... Thank you for making the

music that keeps us all marching on!
