Donald R. Albright

I was in the Raub bands , and William Allen marching band when they had 250 members. Buggy was always there and helped Henry Neubert manage the tricky formations on the football halftime shows. Great guy!

My condolences Wendy and Kristina. I just learned of Mr. Albright´s passing. He was my music director when I was at Raub in the early 80s. I will forever appreciate how he selflessly shared his passion for music with us. My best memories with him are the Raub stage band concerts we gave in West Park. That opportunity had a lasting impact on me. He was far and away the best teacher I´ve ever had. I wish I had said thank you before he passed. I will pray for you and your families.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Albright´s passing away. He was my and my twin´s band director at Raub Middle School in the 1980´s. He was always kind to us, and we enjoyed being in marching and concert band under his leadership. Praying for the family and loved ones during this difficult time. Tara (Lee) Bomgardner

My son so appreciated the years of music training he received from Mr. Albright. My condolences to the family. ~ Ethel Drayton-Craig

Dear Wendy and Kristina, I'm so sorry for your loss. I first met Mr Albright in summer of '69 when he was teaching summer music lessons. When I got to Raub around '72, I had him for band and orchestra. He was really cool. At the end of one school year, he did a cook out for us at the pavilion between the Rose garden and Cedar Crest College. He would also bring his guitar in and play songs, a favorite being Proud Mary. The first Christmas concert he came out to conduct dressed as Santa ...

Marched in 1972 Raub band because he asked. A great mam

Dear Albright Family and Friends, (among them Phi Mu Alpha fraternity brother and my late husband, George (Rusty) Boyer who was a close buddy to Don beginning at WCU in the late 1960´s: I deliver my condolences and recall many memories of Don after reading his obituary today. His indelible smile, fast wit and vast quips so often supplied humor and wisdom to our conversations. Don was a good friend to Rusty (d. 2011) and they were musicians often seen on stage together. I´m so grateful we...

Wendy and Kristina I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad from Charlotte´s daycare and then I had him at Trexler. He was a wonderful teacher and musician. Prayers and hugs to you both.

Fond memories of playing in the Raab Jr. High Band in 73. Don Albright was passionate about his music and his students. Years later, I think in 1987 we randomly met each other in Washington DC, watching the Marine Band. It was only for a minute or so, and we went our separate ways. Sorry to hear of his passing. He was a good guy. My condolences to the family. Fond memories of playing in the Raab Jr. High Band in 73. Don Albright was passionate about his music and his students. Years later, I...
