Members of the AHS Band and Color Guard from the class years of 1980-1985 gathered recently for a reunion that not only included an evening of sharing memories, but also raised $4435 for today’s Colony musicians.
Attendees, including Zig Kanstul, the band director from 1980-1985, shared memories of the hundreds of hours of practicing and performing in parades, half-time shows and numerous competitions, between bidding for silent auction items and purchasing tickets for the opportunity drawing to raise funds for Anaheim High’s Colonial Regiment.
The planning committee was headed by Dan Barragan. He is working to bring AHS Band, Color Guard and Drill Team members from all class years together to support current students in the AHS band program. He can be reached through “The Anaheim High School Band & Color Guard/Drill Team Alumni Group” on Facebook or via mrdano32@sbcglobal.net.
