1 5 P' Music Dent. N gf . eses Band :rector After long and dedicated service to the music students of Kentwood Public Schools and particularly to EKHS, Band Director Donald Druart decided to call it quits at the end of this school year and head back to college to earn a higher degree and to broaden his horizons . Mr. Druart made the shocking announcement at the annual band and orchestra banquet. I wish to continue to develop my skills as a conductor of both instrumental and vocal music to update my education in the contemporary areas of music, computers, recording techniques and jazz, he ex- plained. The decision wasn't easyg however the thought of making it has been in my mind for several years, he confided. Mr. Druart taught for Kentwood Public Schools for 19 years, including several at elementary levels. After six years at Valleywood Middle School, Mr. Druart came to the high school in 1970. High points in Mr. D's career at EKHS include the first ever Number One rating for Symphonic Band at State Festival in 1975 and greeting President Ford twice at the airport with the Marching Band. He also enjoyed directing the pit orchestras for musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof. I will miss working with the kids and watching them become mature musi- cians, commented Mr. Druart, but I won't miss the paperwork or having to give students grades, he admits. So long, Mr, D and good luckl Actlvltles 45
