Thanks for the visit Les and Johnnie! You continue to inspire those you are around!

Thanks to Mrs. Danielak for setting this event up. Thanks to the Harrison School Administration for helping sponsor this Master Class.

Thanks to the Farwell Band Boosters for helping sponsor the classes as well! Without your support our band students would not be getting the same level of music education!

Thanks to Mid-Michigan Community College for allowing us the use of the room!
