"All of my band experiences have given me the opportunity to
meet so many new people. Marching Band truly felt like a
'Team' effort, and the upperclassmen who always looked out for me
now have become dear friends. Mr. Mortensen has inspired me to continue
playing, and I hope to become part of a college hockey PEP Band after
High School!" Jenny D '09
"Marching Band gave me the opportunity to meet great people and
play cool music. It gives freshmen a chance to have a good group of
friends before they start High School. Over all it was a great
experience." Lindsey K '08
"As a senior band has equipped me so well! I have learned how to make
real friends, lead without fear, and be part of something larger
than myself. The band directors taught me more than just how to
play well in an ensemble, they fostered in me a love and
appreciation for all music". Lindsey B '08
"Band has been among the greatest experiences of my career at
Minnetonka, thanks to the directors. Very few if any teachers
bring as much entertainment and passion to High School as Mort and
Rosen. Their dedication and hard work has not only shaped me into a
decent musician, but their enthusiasm and passion has inspired me to
purse a career in music. My memories from Marching Band, Jazz
Ensemble, Pep Band and Pit Orchestra (Scotland in particular) will
remain with me long after High School." CJ '08
