“What does the HHS music department mean to me, you ask? For me personally, I am closing in on a 40-year semiprofessional music career in Charlotte and the surrounding area. I have never had a music class, performance or theory, beyond HHS graduation. The music faculty in Hamburg, including elementary and junior high school teachers, prepared me well for this. I have played with some amazing players over the years, and have been asked numerous times where I studied and who did I study under. My answer surprises everyone. This has been the most perfect outlet for the stresses of my other job (I often tell people I’m a musician that does accounting and taxes on the side). On a much larger scale, what would the world be like without music – live music; real people playing real instruments? It all begins with children learning and growing up at least being exposed to it.”
-Mac Willet, 1973 Band President

“Our class, as a whole, earned ‘Bulldog’ level, which we are very proud of!”

“Music brings people together. As a young adult at HHS,the music program was a life changing experience for me as I am sure it was for others. It gave me an appreciation for music of all kinds, for teamwork, and for the focus required to do it well. Our oldest son had the same experience as a percussionist growing up. As budgets tighten, it’s critical that we support a robust music program so we are promoting and providing a well rounded future -generation. 11
