Poetry: ADAIR - The Best Band in the Nation By Billy Joe Fudge At every band competition I have attended since the early nineties I have been so impressed with every facet of our award winning band program. I would often notice the crowd, particularly that part of the crowd from the other schools competing against Adair County. Comment after comment such as, "I thought we did great until I saw Adair perform" and "where the heck is Adair County anyway". The most impressive thing to watch is something that folks just can't seem to control, body language. From the time Adair begins to take the field the crowd falls into an eerie, unnatural silence. All conversation stops and the involuntary awe and silence pay the highest respect to a program of now mythical proportions. These and many other observations inspired me to write this tribute poem simply called; ADAIR: ADAIR By Billy Joe Fudge A hush falls over the crowd.Continuing a Tradition of Excellence, ADAIR goes after its 21st KMEA State Championship in Louisville, Saturday, October 26, 2013. 2013-10-24 08:19:52 | Comments | Printable version
