Hi Evelyn! I hope you are feeling better. I do remember that Mr. Manley did teach piano to some of the kids. ----- Original Message ----- From: "evelyn weckerly" <weckerly@xxxxxxx>

Hi, Gary and all,Gary, When you and I were at MSB, Jesse Manley taught the piano students that Mrs. Williams (later Hunn) could not take because she had no room for them. Alicia Zaremba McKibben was one of them when she came to MSB as a seventh grader. She and I were roommates that year.By the way, I have not sent anything to this list for about a year. It's a long story and off topic for this subject. I will simply say that I have been very seriously ill and am still in recovery.Regards, Evelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <K8HLX@xxxxxxx To: <msb-alumni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Sun, 6 Apr 2014 03:36:40 -0500 Subject: [msb-alumni] Re: BandI think as far as I remember, piano tuning is the only thing that Mr. Manleytaught. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggy" <pyates2011@xxxxxxxxx To: <msb-alumni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 04, 2014 10:12 PM Subject: [msb-alumni] Re: Band Hi Bob, Yah, now I remember. He did teach piano tuning because Larry Yanchus took that from him and he also taught chair caning. I had no idea that he also taught band at one time. Must have been before Jack Chard started teaching.

I had Agnes Horton as my teacher. When I switched to snare, Jesse Manley taught me the rudimentals--drum rolls, paradiddles, etc. I can still hear his voice in my mind "Beat, Beat, Bounce-it". In my first year in band, they had Park Herron and Milton Jackson as snare drummers, so I played the bass drum. Kathy Barkley was on timpany and glock and spiel; Nancy Denny was on cymbals. I learned all the percussion antics from Park Herron, and we certainly carried it all forward in the following years. Park used to make runs to Fabs during rehearsals, just like Mark Tonkins did a couple years later. Because I was small-framed then, I did not play bass drum when we marched. I had to pretend to play the cornet and that was pretty embarrassing. Chard didn't want me to miss marching in various events including the Holland Tulip Festival. I don't remember who else from my class was in the band that year, other than I think Terry Posont and I think his brother Larry was there then as well. I know there were over thirty and I think at least three trombonists. I think during 1967 I may have played snare drum at one of the band performances, unbeknownst to Jack Chard. Park switched with me and he played bass drum. God, I laugh at the stuff we used to mostly get away with then. I remember a couple years later when Chard was holding us over to get some extra practice before the festivals. Terry Posont put his trombone away and left. I figured I would do. I quietly put the snare drum in its case, put my coat on and just as I was ready to walk out the backstage door, old Jack caught my by my coat collar. I did get in some trouble at home for that stunt.
