I was very good friends with Scotty who unfortunately passed recently. Scotty and I marched in the Drake band just to fill in. I was a sophmore in high school and was just amazed by the the professional people that I met. Chief was always very kind to me and treated me like a son. Rest in peace Chief

The Des Moines music world will miss Don Macouiller. Besides being a promoter of fine band music and a wonderful professor at Drake University, Dr. Marcouiller was a kind and gentle man who left a good impression on all with whom he came in contact. I first met him shortly after coming to Des Moines, taking a band teachers' workshop at Drake U. I found him to be an amiable supporter of my teaching endeavors. I offer my sincere condolences to his family.

I met Mr. Marcouiller at a Drake summer marching band camp in 1967. Vince Nelson and Tom Lee helped him run the camp.

To the family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words found at Neh. 1:4 and use God's provision of prayer to help guide you through your difficult time.
