Dr. Dettweiler

Stories of your life
Make our music leap from the page.
You are an amazing conductor,
A true musical sage.
We thank you
For teaching us to sing,
To feel,
To do that musical "thing."
We won't forget what you've taught,
Your words and spirit stay with us now;
You taught us music,
And how!
Thank you, Dr. Dettweiler,
For spending time with us,
For conducting our festival,
And placing the music in us.
We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,
For helping us sing
Even the hardest parts!
