Vet Bandmaster Logs Miles
ROYAL—The favorite behind
the baton for 250 band students
in north-central Nebraska >s not
John Philip Sousa, but a man
named Leonard Sawyer of Roy
al.
Mr. Sawyer has been teach
ing band in five different high
schools for 6l/2 years. Since the
schools are scattered in Ante
lope, Holt and Madison counties,
he’s done a lot of traveling in
his 1939 model car, a total of 129
thousand miles, with no acci
■» dents.'-' f
His attendance record has
been good. This part of the state
tets some bad winter weather,
but until the ice storms of early
last December he had never
miss a weekly visit to a school.
High0 schools of Battle Creek,
Meadow Grove, Clearwater,
Page and Inman 'are currently
served by Mr. Sawyer. Added to
this now is a grade school band
formed last September.
■> Each Monday night, after a
lull day with the Battle Creek
, " high band, he tutors 15 young
sters at Battle Creek Heights
Lutheran parochial school.
Scheduling appearance for
* five bands can° be confusing.
Many times Mr. Sawyer has had
i — "i
three bands marching in the
same parade. As many as four
of his groups have appeared at
the same band festival or dis
trict contest.
Often during the school year
he makes special appearances
with a band or smaller instru
mental group, and this deprives
nim of many evenings with his
family.
Antelope county has been
home for the Sawyers since
Leonard, his twin brother, and
parents moved to Brunswick
when the twins were 11.
Leonard picked up an interest
in music after a traveling min
ister played several trumpet
solos in the small church in
Brunswick. His parents perused
a mail order catalog and order
ed him a trumpet for $6. His
brother received a trombone.
He wrore out the mail order
trumpet, and worked one sum
mer to pay for a new Pepper
coi^it which he still uses. Dur
ing World War I he played in
the Twenty - fourth infantry
band. Now he plays all band
| instruments.
Since then, two of the Saw
i years came to Royal and Mr.
Sawyer opened a business and
operated a shoe and harness re
pair shop for some years. When
i ' i
Royal’s school board during
World War II couldn’t firid a
regular band instructor, it askea
Mr. Sawyer to teach band pas
time and serve as school custo
dian.
His success with the Royal
band led the board of education
at Page to ask his services one
day a week. Contracts with oth
er school systems followed, and
Mr. Sawyer gave up his busi
ness. The Royal band was not
organized this year because of
the shortage of instruments, so
Inman was added to the list.
Mr. Sawyer took considerable
correspondence and off-campus
work through Wayne State
Teachers college, University of
Nebraska and Norfolk Junio1'
college to qualify for a teaching
certificate.
Sawyer-taught students novr
are found in a number of college
bands. And at the Norfolk Ilal
lowesta celebration, the home
coming at Wayne State, Norfolk
navy band day and the baton
twirling clinic at Neligh, Saw
yer-trained bands get a big wel
come. o
