Too Smart To Start

Energy is the word with this song! Get your kids psyched up about singing it and delivering its message. Put the CD on, and turn the volume way up. Let them sing, shout, and move to the music! Even if you don't have a program at your school that focuses on avoiding substance abuse (such as a D.A.R.E. program), you can put this tune to good use anyway. It's that important.

In a way, it's a big sound byte - the same words over and over. But when it comes to making sure our kids hear it, understand it, and get it, repetition might just be exactly what's needed.

The recording is absolutely necessary for the excitement of the tune. Our horn band and driving rhythm section keep things moving, especially during the wind soli that starts at measure 26. Wow!
