Barney Smart, Director of bands at Hampton University, passed away last Friday. The time i spent at Hampton University in the Marching Band was part of what kept me sane. The friends I made there, and the time that i spent there taught me a lot about myself. One thing i will always remember about Mr. Smart was the level of respect that he required we maintain at all times. It can't be an easy task to keep 200+ college students in line, but he always managed to do it. There's so much more i feel about his passing, but the words aren't coming to me right now.

God Bless
Rest In Peace Barney Smart
About Me
- Mittens
- I'm a 30-something student/employee/photographer/dreamer. My goal is to wear sneakers everyday for the rest of my life. I take pictures sometimes, but not as much as I should. I like to cook, and eat, and dance, and sing... unfortunately i'm only good at the first two.
