Close your eyes and hear the symbols, bass drums and the trumpet.

When you take a closer look at Cincinnati St. Xavaier's marching band, you'll see the teamwork pulling it all together.

For 14-year-old Andrew Gillespie, it's this teamwork that's helped bring his talent on the trumpet onto the field.

"Without, like, the rest of the trumpet section and Dr. Besse and some other people that, unfortunately, we're only here for a band camp staff. I don't know if I'd still be here, honestly, like if I'd still be able to do this," Gillespie said.


A month after Gillespie was born his parents found out he was blind. His condition is called bilateral retinal dysplasia, his retinas did not form while in utero.

Andrew's father says other than that, his son is a typical teen and he wants others to see him that way.

"The most proud moment I had was, you know, when the other bands don't realize that he's blind," said Ben Gillespie.

When it came to joining the marching band, Andrew's parents weren't worried about the playing, but the movements.


Andrew, himself, had some anxiety about it all.

"The first week, I had no idea what I was doing," Andrew Gillespie said.

Band director Jody Besse has been behind him every step of the way.

"We have kind of a little system where we will either tap his shoulder a little bit one way. If we're going to the right to the left as far as the fingers I will usually as whether he's resting tell him what the next move is like okay next move we're going 16 steps back big steps little steps," Besse said.

"I don't read the sheet music. I don't even have the sheet music for all the band tunes," Andrew Gillespie said.

Andrew says he doesn't use braille music because it's inefficient and unusable while playing.


"As long as there's another person playing second trumpet, I can kind of like, tag on and play the exact same notes as they would be and remember it," Andrew Gillespie said.

"He's a phenomenal player and he's one of the hardest workers," Besse said.

Hard work, a motto Andrew lives by.

"I feel like anyone can do almost anything if they put their mind to it," he said.

Andrew and the band practice three days a week, about an hour and 45 minutes each day.

They travel to all games and perform for all of the home football games. The band also performs for other community events throughout the year.
