This week marked the last time Dr. Tom Stone will direct a band from Nampa High School. He is retiring after over 30 years of working in the Nampa school district. I had the privilege to learn under Dr. Stone from 6th through 12th grades, from Central to West Junior High to Nampa High School. There were a lot of fun times with Band competition trips to Clackamas in Oregon or Reno or even U of I. Then the "play-a-thons" to raise the money at Roller Magic. But one of the funnest memories are from playing with the Jazz band at the NHS basketball games. Those were some fun times. I remember playing at the state basketball tournament and yelling and screaming like crazy some of us even using a megaphone and an official from the tournament came over and threatened to give us a technical for using the megaphone... Good thing Mr. Stone was there to calm the situation.
Congratulations Dr. Stone!!
