Dear Alumni,
It was truly wonderful to see such a great response to Alumni Band this year. Thank you for making a special effort to attend, for traveling long distances, and for playing so well on the field and in the stands. A very special thank you to Casey Horvath for all of the extra time preparing the music and taking care of the distribution of music. She always does a great job with the music! Also special thanks to Dana Miller for instrument set-up, oiling valves, and organizing the percussion room(not an easy job). Casey and Dana always help with the clean-up after the game. Mike Ryan and Bob Nowak helped tremendously with loaning instruments and with instrument repairs . Everything that the PAHS Band does requires the help of so many people, and I am blessed and surrounded by wonderful colleagues, parents, alumni, students, and friends. It seems that Friday was the only nice weather day that we had and I was really thankful for the ideal conditions. Once again, Thank You! It was a thrill to see you and hear you perform again!
