Fifty - four teenagers came crashing through the double doors of the Easter High School choir(音乐) room one April afternoon in 1987, wild with the news they’d heard over tile loudspeaker. They had been selected to compete at the International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna. To these young people from the inner city of Washington D.C. it sounded like a dream.
"Is it true, Mrs. Garrett?" shrieked the usually dreamy Ayesha Brock.
Joyce Garrett wasn’t smiling. How could she tell her award - winning singers that a golden voice wasn’t enough to get you to Europe? Hadn’t she spent 22 years in convincing the city’s poorest children that it wasn’t where you lived but what you did that counted?
"Yes, it’s true," she said slowly. "Only 36 North 5merican choirs were selected. It’s an honor just to have been invited."
"But Mrs. G," someone said, "Are we going?"
Most of Joyce’s pupils had to work to pay for clothes, books, sometimes even food. They had about as much chance of going to Vienna as to the moon. "We’ll see," she said. "A year from July is a long way off."
Of course, they couldn’t attend, Joyce told herself. Still, she showed the elegant, hand - written invitation to her neighbor Tom Howell, a local businessman. Something in Joyce’s voice told Howell this was special. He read the letter slowly. "Joyce," he said, "You are going to accept this invitation! You get those youngsters ready, and we’ll find a way to get them to Vienna."
