I was a band member under Ms. Maness and Ms. Walker nearly 10 years ago. As explained to them this year after watching my cousin’s concert, the memories I made during my time there are some of my fondest! Not only are they excellent teachers, but they were more than that. I could always rely on them to be there when I needed advice or just someone to talk to. I am super proud to have been involved with the Ransom Band and know that there is still so much more to come from their program. Good job!
Great job Instructors, Music is a great part of life. Just imagine a world without music. No Birds singing, no instruments, no Records, no Tapes, no CD’s.
Keep up the good work Kids, I appreciate you and love you.
Congratulations Kathy!!
Way to go Pat and others!!!!
Good Job !!! They have great instructors at Ransom! And great band students. I’m proud to know my son is one of them!
Congratulations Ransom!! Sure wish the schools up in the North end could have such outstanding and growing music programs!
