The McFarland School District music faculty: Bill Garvey, Dave Heilman, Anne Nichols, and Brian Vanderbloemen. Without their unbelievably generous support, it would have been much more difficult to find rehearsal space, equipment, and (of course) talented and willing musicians.Finally, my heartfelt thanks to the many fine musicians who have given so enthusiastically of their talents and time to make the band a (local) success, for four years running now. It is always a delight to perform with you, and frequently to rehearse with you: age cannot wither you, nor custom stale your infinite variety. Farewell 'til the next chart.
The McFarland High School and Indian Mound Middle School, especially Jim Hickey, Pat Scheurell, Gary Schneider, and all the custodial staff at MHS.
All the parents who have schlepped, chauffeured, and rescheduled, particularly Beth and Jim Anderson, whose son is a percussionist.
The organizations who have cooperated in providing performance venues, including: The McFarland Community Band, the Village of McFarland, Door Creek Church, the Family Festival, the Talent Showcase, and the Homecoming parade committee. Beth Anderson has been an especially tireless advocate with several of these groups.
The many local businesses who have been kind enough to allow us to hang advertising flyers in their windows. Thanks particularly to the McFarland Thistle for running our announcements, and to Ken's Automotive for the use of their letterboard.
