Mr. Widvey, I thought I might take this opportunity to congratulate you on the extremely fine musical presentation by your school band at The Field Museum in Chicago today. I am an orthopedic surgeon from San Francisco with an interest in vertebrate paleontology esp. relative to the knee joint (conf. Google Scholar, Dye SF).
I was there to study Sue [the Tyrannosaurus rex] when I had the unexpected pleasure of hearing the Kimball HS band. I was frankly astounded at the near professional quality of the musicality of this outstanding group of young people. They were attentive, polite, and superb. They clearly are a reflection not only of the remarkable leadership skills of the band director, but also of your leadership, and the community of Kimball at large.
