BAND Continued from Page 1 bles that chanced off dozens of band trophies and musical re- cordings from Miliauskas’ ca- reer. : Officials said the money raised will benefit band students through scholarships and sup- plementing the program. Yurko Carmer said it was im- portant to her to organize a band-specific reunion because her friends during high school were different ages but had mu- sic in common. “Whenever I heard about my class reunions, I didn’t want to go because I didn’t feel close to my class,” she said. “I felt more connected to the band, and my friends in band were five years ahead of me and five years be- hind. We traveled together, prac- ticed almost every day together — that was my family.” Piatt Ide, who played the bells in the award-winning band, spoke to the packed auditorium during a service for Miliauskas about one of the most memora- ble experiences she had while a member of the marching band. She said the band had been invited to play during the Na- tional Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington, D.C. In 1968 — she remembered the date, April 4, because it was shortly after her grandmother passed away. Piatt Ide said her mother de- manded that she and her broth- ers attend the trip because “there was no way” they wouldn’t accompany Miliauskas. Band members,, however, nev- er had the chance to play a sin- gle note in the nation’s capital as they were told to leave almost immediately upon arrival be- cause of the riots that began not long after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. “We were going to have our picture taken at the Capitol building, and we saw black smoke and we were told to pack and leave,” said Piatt Ide. “Mr. Miliauskas didn’t want to leave, but we did anyway.” She said the bus “ran every BILL TARUTIS PHOTOS/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Alumni and friends look over Lake-Lehman band trophies and plagues won during the tenure of former band director John Miliauskas APTS a The senior class portrait of John Miliauskas in the Lehman Town- ship High School 1948 yearbook 'Le Vista.’ The Lake-Lehman Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed at helping the school district and the community, aided the event by manning raffle tables that chanced off dozens of band trophies and musical recordings from Miliauskas' career. red light” as she saw people with machetes and other weapons looting and rioting. “We didn’t get home until 3 a.m., but we did get to go to Grandma Piatt’s funeral,” she said. Throughout Miliauskas’ ca- reer, the Lake-Lehman High School Marching Band attended the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade two other times, placing in the top five in the na- tional band competition. The band also played during Nation- al Football League games, Miss America Pageants and in band competitions up and down the east coast. Former students reflected on how Miliauskas demanded the same pride and perfection dur- ing hometown parades in Jack- son, Ross and Lehman town- ships as he did in national band competitions. “He always said you need to practice and play with pride and do the best you can,” said Greg James of the class of 1976. Other students poked fun at Miliauskas’ tendency towards discipline on and off the field. Several speakers told him and the audience that their military training was nothing compared to being part of the a man High School Band. “There’s the terrifying memo- ry of field practice, when you came running onto the field with your scarlet-red face and the fire in your eyes,” said James to Mi- liauskas as the audience laughed. But all former musicians who spoke at the event made sure to thank Miliauskas, who still teaches music privately. “I remember 99. percent of them, and which instrument they played,” said Miliauskas.
