And the band says…thanks!

This year's Community Band in the Fourth of July Parade

Didn’t the band sound great this year? Here’s a bit more from Janet Olsen, FHHS Band Director & teacher & the one who pulls it together:

The Community Band was most definitely a real community event!

Thank you, Rex Guard for giving up your time to whip our drum line into shape; thank you, David Eden for giving us your expert whistling-blowing, baton-waving leadership; thank you to all the high school and middle school students who willingly participated; thank you to the many high school graduates and community members who showed up to help me give our young, first-time marchers helpful criticism and fortification.

Thank you Printonyx and Kris Brown for making a fabulous new banner; thank you Lin and Pam Pearson for paying the band’s entry fee; thank you, Vern Howard, for  providing shirts for every band participant; thank you Bob Brunko for letting me use your golf cart during the parade and Becky Shanks for driving me; thank you to every person who showed up and marched so that this community could experience a marching band in the 4th of July parade.

And finally, thanks to so many of you for your expressions of support and appreciation. The Band appreciates YOU!

Most sincerely,
Janet Olsen
