Through our devotion time and through some of our song choices we try to live out the words to Psalm 33 in band and choir.  God commands us to praise him and we seek to do so as we learn to sing, play skillfully, and bring honor and glory to God.

Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. – Psalm 33: 1-3
