“The Blugold Marching Band was the most important factor in my decision to attend UW-Eau Claire. I made lifelong friends (and met Catherine, my wife!) in the BMB who ultimately led me to make the decision to pursue music education. I feel immense gratitude for this ensemble, not only for the community and high-energy performances it gave me the opportunity to participate in, but for giving me space to make mistakes, learn, and grow as a young person.”
