'3 Generations' of Emotion

By: John Aylsworth
SV Brigade Staff Member

The Three Generations Show is dedicated to the band students from eight different decades in the Springs Valley community. They have given of their time and talents to proudly represent our local schools in countless parades, concerts, basketball games, pep sessions, patriotic events, football games and community projects. Their faces stare back at us from old black and white photographs. as well as, more modern color digital prints. They are united over the generations, however, with the pride, dedication, hard work and love of music they uniquely share. Whether it was a concert at the old Wells Lot Bandstand, a 1943 patriotic parade, a basketball floor show at the old French Lick H. S. gym, marching down the Boulevard in West Baden for the Pumpkin Festival Parade or the caravan with lights flashing and sirens wailing after a return from state finals, it is the children of almost seventy years that we celebrate with the 2007 Three Generations marching band show.

As a member of the Aylsworth Family, I cannot express how much the youth of French Lick and West Baden have enriched our lives. As each group graduates, they leave a little part of themselves with us. We share a collection of group memories: triumph, sadness, humor, excitement, disappointment, anticipation and even frustration. In a few short school years, we watched them grow, mature and leave to take their place in the society. Speaking for Gilbert, Helen, Patti, Luke and Laura, “We thank you for sharing your children with us". We will always consider them a part of our family.

GO BLACKHAWK BRIGADE. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
