The Life of Ron's Baby

Working Together

First, let's clear some things up about Ron's baby. No, it is not a real baby, but a baritone that was very close to Ron's heart. They had a bond, these two. They performed and played together. They won medals and were proud of the work they had achieved together. But eventually one of them had to go. It was the baritone (what we would do if it had been Ron, I do not know).

It was on a hot afternoon that the end came. The baritone squeaked its last note and was put behind Mr. B's car to rest. Mr. B got into his car not knowing what important object was behind him and backed up onto it, not hearing the crying "NO's" of the NCHS marchers. It was then that baritone died, but it was not the end of the story.

Mr. Williams gracefully picked up the baritone, took it to the top of the tower and sacrificed it to the Band Gods. It might have been a short life, but it was a good life. Ron's baby, we will miss you.
