We would like to thank 2001 Bluestem Alumni Michael Walz for his generous donation of a framed Bluestem Band Uniform from 1977-1993! Michael was able to preserve this part of Bluestem history by saving a uniform when a storage room was being cleaned out at the school years ago during the Jr/Sr. High School building merger. This set of uniforms was ordered by the first band director to teach in the current Jr/Sr. High School building, Mr. John Templin, who is still a resident of Leon, KS. The current band uniforms at our school were introduced in 1993-1994 but have since been aged out due to age and condition. Thank you so much, Michael Walz, for your very generous donation! Go Band!
