Mr. Jandorf was THE BEST band teacher a 7th n 8th grader could ever have! A true taskmaster and a bit intimidating, but if you played well you got to bask in his smile! He instilled a love of music in me, which has enriched my life beyond measure. My respect for him was, and always will be, endless.
