Marquette City Band Shell and more!

Dr. Steve Grugin was our guest for a spirited conversation about music making on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We were glad to hear that all is well and thriving for The Marquette City Band as well as Northern Michigan University Bands where Dr. Grugin is experiencing his first year of retirement as Director of Bands. He has continued to be the professor of Low Brass at NMU, Director of the NMU Alumni Band and Director of The Marquette City Band.

Dr. Grugin’s building of all of these organizations over the last few decades has been very impressive. But, consistent with his proven drive to build excellence, he is in the midst of another kind of building project, raising funds to replace the “decommissioned” Marquette Bandshell at scenic Presque Isle located on the shores of Lake Superior. The links to help with that project are below. Congratulations to Dr. Grugin on his retirement and outstanding career accomplishments! And, thank you for being an entertaining guest! “Just keep on playin”! But, we hope he “works harder” on also enjoying some well earned downtime during retirement!
