WHAT power(力量) does music have? Band of Hope is a student band in the US. They play music for young patients(病人) at a children’s hospital.
Students at Hopewell Junior High School started the band about six months ago. The band’s 27 members meet once a week for a two-hour practice after school.
On May 27, they played their sixth concert(音乐会) for 20 children in hospital. The band members also told stories for the patients and brought small instruments(乐器) for them to play.
Liam Watters, 13, plays the baritone(男中音) in the band. During one concert, he learned that one of the patients liked to listen to the singing, so he and a few other band members went back to the patient’s room and sang to him.
“That was really cool,” Liam said. “They had big smiles on their faces.”
“We’re hoping that it can become an even bigger part of our culture(文化) here,” said Kerry Wilson, the head of the band. “It helps them to feel happy, and enjoy being a part of our community(社区),” said Wilson.

My Dad
He comes home, has a shower
And eats dinner, every day
Now he’s sitting in his favourite chair
Too tired to laugh or play
He reads his book or newspaper
To learn what’s new today
Soon he’ll go to bed
He’s a boring man, my dad
Then I see him working
On the building site
He’s high up in the clouds
Higher than a kite
He’s walking bravely on a narrow piece of wood
Not worried about the height
Not afraid, not afraid like me
He’s a superman, my dad
