I also worked with Mr. Barr as part of a Rockfellar Foundation Scholarship at the Brevrad Music Center in the summer of 1973 after my junior year of high school.

The rehearsals and performances with Mr. Barr in his Wind Ensemble at the Music Center are still one of the musical highlights of my life. He demanded and got the best out of every student that crossed his path. Jamie Hafner, Principal Tubist and faculty member at Brevard at the time was also a student at one time of Mr. Barr. He took Mr. Barr's place when he was incapacitated by a stroke. Mr. Barr was also the tubist in the Indianapolis Symphony at one time.

Your band has a great person to be named after.
