Mr. Howard and the Fab 4,
Thank you for the acknowledgement of doing the surprises that you received in the mail. You guys deserve them. When I 1st saw the Youtube videos of you guys, I was hooked. You see, my sisters and I were in the Western Alamance High School All-American Brigade from Elon, NC. We were in the Marching Band for 25 years. We played the following instruments: Trombone & Pit, Clarinet & Bass Clarinet, Flute & Piccolo. Those were the best years of my life. Because I was a part of a group that entertain.
Once I saw the video post of you guys, I felt the urge or the need to show support to you guys. Because I had been where you guys are. That was when I started to talk to Justin, trying to figure our that what you guys liked. The reason I wanted to do this is, back in 2018- my family & I had a really bad year (the whole year). We were living in a hotel and homeless. I explained this to Justin. Then a very good friend wanted to do something special for my family. They bought us a house. NO REPAY BACK! Just to pay it forward!
I thought about it and wanted to show my creative ability. I also wanted to encourage the guys to continue what they are doing. Then while talking to Justin about you guys. I learned that you guys are a tight- knit group. (AKA: brothers from another mother.)
The more I worked on the surprise canvas artwork. The more I was hoping & praying: 1) you guys were surprised & 2) you were going to like them.
Then when I read what Mr. Howard posted on Facebook, I teared up and choked up. You guys are an inspiration to everyone (young and old). People who talk junk about Justin and you guys are really not nice. To me the people, are not worried about the talent ability of the everyone in the band. They only worried about the color and how it offends them.
Your Friend
Christy
