"I have served a lot in my life, but by far the greatest honor I have ever had was serving with the members of the Copley Band. Today, we suffer, not from a crisis that can be seen; but a crisis that affects us all the same. For years, we've been told to accept things the way they are; we've been told that one person cannot change the world, that one person cannot make a difference. My friends, I reject this view. With your help, we can make a difference; we can take the first, aggressive step towards our shared American destiny. We can change this band, and we can change the world. Please join me, and together, we'll keep the Band in time. Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America."
