Sun Prairie Community Band Holiday Concert
March 24, 2013 at 2pm, at the Sun Prairie Public Library
Directed by Sherry Jenkel
This concert is dedicated in memory of Steve Gehrke, a long-time Sun Prairie Community Band member, who passed away in January of this year. Steve’s wife Laura, who passed away in 2005, was one of the founding members of the band. Steve, along with his son Richard and daughters Victoria, Rebecca and Cynthia all played in the band throughout the 1990’s and beyond. During that time, the Gehrke family, with Steve as the patriarch, demonstrated strong family values and a passion for having fun. He will be remembered for his sense of humour, his excellent musicianship, and his devotion to his family.
