Program Notes:
Each Moment Should Be Lived Fully is a reflection on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was commissioned by David Rogers, band director of the Walled Lake (Michigan) Central High School Band with support from band parents and is dedicated to Rogers' students and his son, Jack, who played in the band, as did his daughter. Rogers looked forward to the time when both of his children would be in his bands together, and that school year was 2020-21, when COVID-19 forced the band to halt operations for much of the year. Regret over losing this special time with his children motivated him to commission Brooke Pierson to compose a piece that reflects the reality that life brings both celebration and melancholy and each has its time and its place.
