We pledge to stand with you and go the distance. We will be the change that is long overdue. Poem by Dion Montéz Jarrett -- Journeys are interesting, because with them, the farther you explore the more you find.... In any adventurer’s journey there are flashes of Why did I do this? Is this worth it? I can’t do this anymore. But the pain sometimes brings deeper strength. With that strength we speak up, speak out and express!! The voice we find on the journey is built from marching through the swamps, climbing those mountains, and facing those foes. Once you find your way to the end, you will realize that your journey now truly begins because you have found a new beginning. But this time, you have new tools. We stand with you!" Video by Anton Kandaurov and Sterling Baca. Going the Distance used by permission of Universal Music Group. The Artists of Pennsylvania Ballet want to send their heartfelt thanks to Bill Conti for allowing us to use this iconic piece of music.
