Being a member of
the orchestra was a highlight of my school days. I love music and still remember
the fun we had at rehearsals and then the goose bumps the night of the performances.
We practiced on the third floor "band room" and recently I made the trek
up all those steps... very slowly and with lots of puffing... and to think
how I used to run up and down! One rehearsal I was counting madly but missed
the beat and clanged the cymbals during a rest. Wally just stopped the orchestra
for a few seconds...

The last time I
played drums was in a College of Wooster Alumni Band. I have, however, played
my cello most of my years since WHS. OK, class of 59 and surrounding classes,
"Roll off!":drum drum, drum drum, drummmmmmm, drum drum. Down to Maurer Field
we go. Remember the loooong marches on Memorial Day through downtown and
up Madison Hill to the cemetery and back, and how in some years this occurred
after the all-night junior-senior prom? How empty life would be without
music. My profession? Professor of Economics.

Some of the greatest
memories of my life were at Wooster High School and especially the fun times
we had in the marching band. It was such a thrill marching from the high
school to Maurer Field on those autumn nights. Mike Reed, Dick Treat and
I had such a great time playing drums. We have remained friends until this
day and often talk about our many memories of Wooster.

Jack Emig was my band instructor. Being in the band for three years, playing sousaphone, was one of the only happy events in my high school career. Mr. Emig taught me an understanding and love of music that has followed me all the days of my life. After school I played guitar for twenty years and even bass guitar for three years and now perform locally as a conga drummer. I have loved music consistently. Thanks, Mr. Emig.

This

Jack Emig is a man
of great character and faith. He always got the very best by merely telling
us that it was the right thing to do... and we did it! He and Mrs. Emig are
still teaching and playing in Florida. God bless Haskell's Rascals (Mike
Reed, Dick Treat, and Terry Biddle). Thanks to Mr. Emig and Wooster High
School for leading me into a career in playing and teaching music. Pax Vobiscum...

Ten
years after graduation I met and married a guy who was a drummer
for Wadsworth High whikle I was at Wooster! Our daughter ended up
going to high school and college in Arizona and played the same
clarinet I used while she was in her school bands. Someone once
told my mother, while I was in high school, that all the nicest
and warmest kids were in music programs. I found that to be true
for my own daughter too! It was nice to find this page with the
pictures. Brought back some fond memories. Thanks!

I
think I was either last chair or close to it but loved being in
the "in" crowd. I marched ten yards the wrong direction
at a football game halftime show. How embarrasing! I remember
band members losing shoes in the mud during one rainy halftime
and another one losing his pants and not bothering to pick them
up. He marched right out of them - he had shorts on underneath,
luckily. I was a wallflower in high school, the only group I fit
into was the band. It was great.

The

the beat as we descended the concrete steps to the stadium
field... that is what I remember the most. It was a special
moment.

In addition to my
years spent in WHS bands, I also played in the Wooster Jaycee Band and Terry
Gardner's dance band. In fact, I was one of Terry's original players along
with Carmer, Cotterman, Moore, Walters, and Young. I never attended school
dances for the dancing as I was always a player. Presently I am a member
of the Golf Coast Flute Choir of Manatee County. Since I live near Sarasota
during the winter, I enjoy playing in an all-flute band of about thirty.
We perform various concerts around the Manatee County area. I quite fondly
remember my years in bands and having been blessed with the FANTASTIC frienships
of fellow musicians!

I have from WHS. My dad thoght I should sing in Frs. Frey's choir. I was
put in the alto section. I raised my hand one day to ask for the "cello"
section to hear a section of the piece. Giggles embarassed me so much that
I never raised my hand again!

After attending
music school 1972-76 I never pursued a career in it - became a computer geek
1978-87 then went to graduate school and got my doctorate from the University
of Virginia. I currently teach math to gifted kids in eastern North Carolina.
I worked with the WHS band in 1989 and in 1994-96 was the yearbook advisor.
Anyone wanting a copy of the vieos we made in those years can give me a whistle.

The band was
the best. We had diamond drills, toe lights, head lights, black lights, fire
batons. Marching was an art that every member took pride in. Never were two
home games the same show, even if there were 4 home games in a row. Never
was there a "hole" or a line that wasn't straight. My highlight was a Disney
show complete with fireworks. We even had to physically move 2 cars. That
and the 1812 Overture.
