Present gift to Arts Council
The harmony of the St. Johns High School marching band extends far beyond its arrangements, suggesting that members share interest in music with relevance to community activities. That dual attention was reflected recently when a check in the amount of $180 was presented as a gift to the Gallery of Clinton County Arts Council, a recommendation offered by Director of Bands Roy Davis.
With the intent to express community involvement, members of the band collected the money without a specific purpose and presented it to Mr. Davis expressing their interest. It was his suggestion that a gift be made to the Arts Council in support of the activities and events sponsored by the Gallery. In accepting the gift, Gallery
Director Michael Muehlenbeck praised the band members not only for the gift but also for their spirit and community concern.
While virtually everyone in the band was involved, the collection was spearheaded by drum majors Adam Olsen, Hannah Trevino, and Zack Tahvonen along with line drummer Tyler Wilkie.
“I am especially proud of this band and this extra gesture,” commented Davis. “This is a wonderful example of the good found in our students today.”
