Make Something From Nothing

I recently took one of my sons to a Chicago Bulls basketball game for his birthday. During halftime, we enjoyed watching the Chicago Bucket Boys perform. If you’re not familiar with the Chicago Bucket Boys, here’s some background. What started as a small group of friends banging on buckets has grown into a popular street band. As one of the most famous street bands in the city, the Bucket Boys are known for their high-energy performances filled with trombone, trumpet, drums and more.

The Bucket Boys started as a way to bring musical expression to the streets of Chicago. After forming a bond with one another, the boys decided to make a statement through music. What began with buckets, soon blossomed into a full line of instruments. Now, the Bucket Boys bring their unique sound to festivals and events around the city, like the Bulls game!

As we were watching them, I thought about how cool it was these guys took what was merely nothing (a bucket and drumsticks) and turned it into something so captivating!
