The state of Massachusetts, or "Massa-too-set-to-fit-on-a-kid's-map" as it's known in some circles, is a funky and historic patchwork quilt of colonial history, clam chowder, and the home of the famous Boston Pops Orchestra. Now, let me introduce you to an imaginary character who goes by the name of Maestro Mustachio. He's a rather eccentric character with a mustache so twisty, it can tune a violin! Maestro Mustachio, often seen sporting his signature purple tailcoat, is the unofficial mascot for all the cool kids in Massachusetts who love to play instruments. He's like a musical superhero, only instead of super strength or speed, his powers are all about music. With a flick of his mustachioed upper lip, he can play any instrument, from the flute to the tuba, and from the guitar to the xylophone. The kids in Massachusetts who participate in playing instruments are as diverse and unique as a grand symphony, and they're just as full of energy and excitement. Whether they're plucking at guitar strings, tooting away at trumpets, or banging on drums, these kids are as passionate about music as a baseball fan is about hot dogs and home runs. And the kids here are as brave as they come! Some say it's because of Maestro Mustachio's inspiring tales of musical adventure. You see, it's not easy performing in front of others or learning a difficult piece, but the Massachusetts kids aren't afraid of a challenge. They see the excitement in every misstep and the victory in every discordant note. Because for them, every mistake is just another step towards becoming a maestro like their mighty musical hero, Maestro Mustachio!
