An open letter from Lisa Holland...
Thank you to the wonderful parents that I have
worked with and have known these past 6 years I have been part of the New Milford Band Parents! It has been really fun!
No words could express how I feel about
this great organization and the people involved.
I remember the first day of band camp 7 years
ago when my eldest daughter joined band and there was little communication and interaction between the parents and the previous
band director's program. I am proud of all the work we have put into the Band Parents. I am happy that these email newsletters
that I began have helped parents become more involved and I know that the organization will only grow from here. As a result
of this great organization started only a few years ago, the worries of incoming freshmen parents are quickly eased with the
Freshmen Handbook and these newsletters which Krista Roberts will continue.
I have seen the tremendous growth this
band has made from Day One when Mr. Grauer arrived, to winning 3rd place at Championships last year! Jon Grauer is an excellent
band director and he will bring this band to even higher places!!
I will really miss not being part of this organization,
but I will always be your # 1 fan!!! And I wish you all a great summer and a fantastic marching season this coming year!!
As I hand over the job to Krista Roberts, I
know that she will be a great secretary.
Thank you again for such great memories.
Lisa Holland
