CONGRATULATIONS TO DIXIE DETGEN FOR WITH TODAY’S CONCERT SHE HAS COMPLETED HER FIFTIETH YEAR PERFORMING WITH THE ST JOSEPH MUNICIPAL BAND.

She holds memberships in MENC, where she is a nationally registered teacher, ASBDA, serving on the Foundation Board, NBA, IDRS, MSBOA, AF of M, and SAI. She was the MSBOA Band Teacher of the Year in 1996. We will miss her presence and fantastic contribution to the band and wish her well in being able to choose what to do on Thursday nights and Sundays during the summers.
