Real Stories of Caring

Real Stories of Caring

Before we had played one note, a little boy about 8 years old came racing over to the bandstand.   We could tell he was really excited about something.

 

He said his all time most favorite song was Dynamite! "Can You PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play it for me?"  I said "Sure Aiden you got it little buddy" He jumped up in the air about three times then raced back to his parents.

 

Once the full band started he was ready to hear his song! When we found the perfect time to play it,  I went over and told him we were going to play his song next. He was as excited as Christmas Eve.

 

To make it extra special for him,        we announced that Aiden was going to tell everybody the name of the next song. He yelled on the mic. "DYNAMITE!!"

 

We started playing the song. He was doing his best little kid dance. Halfway through the song Aiden was invited to join us up on stage and sing along with the band.

 

The singers made him feel at home and he was thrilled! For those 5 minutes Aiden was a rock star!

Scott and Amada were HUGE Chicago Blackhawks fan. In fact, last time we met with them she was wearing a Blackhawks t-shirt.

 

For their special gifts, I went to the Hawkquarters store on Michigan Avenue and bought them a home jersey of their favorite player Patrick Sharp. All their guests signed it. Scott said he plans to have it framed. They also got an official hockey puck from the NHL Finals game they attended. The band played Chelsea Dagger and the place went crazy! They were certainly surprised! GOOOOOOOAL!
