BLUFFTON — On July 20, a lasting memory was made not only for a handful of residents at Mennonite Memorial Home, but also for over 100 high school students visiting from Bellefontaine.
The Bellefontaine High School marching band, dubbed “The Pride of the Tribe,” was one of the musical units camping at Bluffton University last week.
According to the Chieftains’ band director, Jeremy Karg, they were approached by MMH resident John Murray who made his way across Elm Street on Wednesday during one of the band’s rehearsals on the BU’s practice football field.
While watching the 115-member Bellefontaine band perform, Murray came up with an idea. He asked if the band would be willing to come play at MMH the following day, as he knew a number of other residents besides himself would enjoy listening to them play – even if just for a couple of numbers.
Karg agreed, as long as it wasn’t raining and it wasn’t too miserably hot, as the heat index was projected to be near 100 degrees that day.
