That was so funny - Hey Ryan - did you ever run all those laps? Weren’t you still running laps at graduation time to convince me to let you get your diploma?

Ya know, I’m not sure exactly how many of those dumb things I ran…but at the end of 4 years of running laps, I got pretty good at it!

I just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Shimmons for never giving up on me. You are a great director, and when I think back to high school, one of my fondest memories were of being in the band. I always had fun and miss it quite a bit. Thank you for the fun.

This is a great idea. As an ancient graduate of Farwell (class of ‘83) I like to stay current with what’s happening back home. I now live in Chattanooga, Tennessee where I am a band director myself. I have made this my life’s work (20 years) and loved every minute of it. I still tell my students stories of my time in high school. (Like the time we played “Mississippi Mud” during a torrential downpour.) Look me up on the John Philip Sousa Award plaque.

It is really cool to see alumni checking up on their hometown! I really find it cool that we have at least 3 farwell students that have gone on to become Music teachers that I know of now! Kyle Howard, Laura Halstead and Micah Volz. Know of any more?
Don’t forget that any and all band alumni are always welcome to come back and play at the homecoming game. It’s not like you don’t know the music! The Fight Song and the Star Spangled Banner. I will have extra music at the field. Email me for more information!

I hope all is going well back in Farwell!
I had tons of fun in my four years with the Farwell Marching Band, and have even continued marching after high school. I would like to thank everyone whom I’ve marched with for making those years so much fun! I can’t wait until I can come back and see a show! Thanks, and I miss you all!
