Dream Journal
I stood at the top of some bleachers in a school gymnasium. There were three pep bands sitting in the stands doing some sort of a band play-off. I was enjoying the music when I realized the band directly below me wasn’t playing at all. The band was very small. The keyboardist wasn’t even sitting by his keyboard, the percussionist was barely tapping the bass drum.
I leaned over the ledge and tried to coax the drummer to pound on the drum loud enough that I could hear him. I asked the keyboardist why he wasn’t playing. I told him that the band needed him and they could not do it without him because he was the melody.
The other members of the band were pretty nerdy looking and weren’t interested in playing music. I wanted them to win.
