Tarleton Summer Band School

Every summer there would be a Summer Band School at Tarleton College in Stephenville.  The leader would be a wonderful musician and teacher from UCLA named Clarence E. Sawhill.  He is seated on the right at the center of the picture.
The little shrimp at the end of the first row...on the right....is me.  I was either 11 years old or 12 years old when this picture was made.  I went to this summer band school every year until I graduated high school.  On the last summer Mr. Sawhill asked me to play a solo with band accompaniment at the final concert.
