Hi Emile,

On behalf of the whole band, I would like to thank you and the Inter Veterans Council for your thoughtfulness in presenting us with the certificate of appreciation.

The band and the local veterans organizations go back a very long way. We are always glad to play at any functions that we can, so please don't hesitate to ask.

One that comes to mind, and which has somehow gone by the wayside in recent years, is your pavillion at the state fair. We would be delighted to resume playing that job, or most anything else that you could use us on.

Don't be a stranger.

Thanks,

Ken Pratt

Manager Springfield Municipal Band
