Read MoreI am so sorry to hear of Karl's death. He was my trumpet teacher and band director in Carroll. He was wonderful in both roles. My heart feels empty without him in it. Fortunately I played a concert with the Iowa Brass Quintet which he and his family attended so was able to tell the audience and Karl after intermission how much he'd meant to me and my career. I send blessings, peace and love to Helen and Barbara.

Mr. Rogosch was my band director at Carroll, Iowa during the 1950's. I will forever be indebted to him for his inspiration and influence in my becoming a music teacher. He was the best EVER. We all experienced the magic with him. "A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops" sums up Karl Rogosch.
My sympathy to his family.

Karl Rogosch was influential in so many peoples lives. I was fortunate to have been a student of his through some very exciting years. Big bands, big shows, charasmatic people. I have nothing but fond memories of these times and much of this was due to the influence and leadership of Karl Rogosch.

My band instructor at East in the early 70's. Have always kept in him my thought as a very significant influence. he taught the way I like it: tough because he cared about getting it right. He will be missed.

Karl was my first band teacher in Carroll. He was such an incredible teacher and person. He helped all of us to develop appreciation for and love of music. I also remember all the fun times he and his family had with my family when I was a little girl :)
