Mr.Abbott's farewell song.

Mr.Abbott has been teaching marching band at Olympia High School in Stanford Illinois for 17 years. He started the tradition of everyone in the band and colorguard holding hands and making a circle around him before a competition. It's called the circle of pride. He talks to us and gets us ready for the show that we are about to preform. This is Mr.Abbott's last year, so in this video it is his last circle of pride ever. He changed the lyrics to a song and sang it to us. It was emotional and it meant alot. Thanks so much Sir, we love you.
