Paul Salyers Memorial Composition
Donation protected
Calling all family, friends, colleagues and students of beloved band director Paul Salyers! We need you to be part of a very special memorial commission in his honor.
I am one of Paul’s colleagues from RUSD. As part of the process of going through the loss of such a great band director, friend, and colleague, we look to find a way to honor his memory in the most fitting way.
Together we (his students, former students, colleagues and friends) are raising funds to commission a piece of music to be written in memory of Paul by one of his favorite band composers. This composition will be a lasting memorial that will allow Paul's legacy to live on for years to come.
The composer has already agreed to take on the project, and we need to raise a total of $6,000 to pay for the commission.
Our goal is to have the first payment made in January to get our project on the books.
This project is particularly special because when a piece of music is commissioned, each part that is handed out to a musician has an inscription at the top expressing the purpose of the commission. In this case, the inscription will be in memory of our beloved friend, colleague, and band director, Paul Salyers.
We are so grateful for your help and participation in this special memorial project.
