Im sure most of you remember the inspirational story of Patrick Hughes, the handicapped trumpet player in UofL's marching band. Well, his family has been blessed just recently with the news that Ty and the Gang are going to build his family a brand new house this week! EMHE was out our (the marching band) practice last night and was filming. The build has already started... They are also going to re-do our practice field, along with the Hughes Home.... I thought I would pass along this story to everyone.

Although I am not a Cardinals fan by any means, I think this is a really great thing their doing for not only Patrick, but for the Louisville marching band.

Outstanding story.

Thats awesome. I always liked that show a lot. They do some wonderful things for people.

That's awesome. It sounds like a very deserving family.

I have been reading about this all week and I am proud to be from Kentucky and happy for Louisville's Band and Mr. Patrick. JD

That's so cool. I love that show. Any idea when it will air?

If I had to guess, I would say in February during sweeps.

I am interested too.

We will probably find out sometime next week when it airs...When we do I'll be sure to let everybody know. :thumb:

That is so awsome for that family and the school, He and his family deserve this . He is one talented guy. Saw him on the news and he was playing the piano. His dad has went the extra mile for him too, I am sure the mom has too. This is just great.
