So sorry to hear about Gary. I remember some good times in the band and going sailing with him to the Apostle Islands. He was a good friend and will be missed.

I was so sorry to read about Mr Schleis passing.
I had him as my band director about 40-41 years ago in middle school. One of my fondest memories of him was at one of my Clarinet lessons, when he played a recording of Flight of The Bumblebee. I was intrigued by it,& anytime I hear or play it,I think of Mr Schlei.
He was always very kind & patient with his students.
Rest In Peace. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
