Dear Brad,
As you embark on the next chapter of your life, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've shared over the past 30 years. Saying goodbye to someone as impactful as you is not an easy task, but it is with great admiration and gratitude that we bid farewell to a remarkable band director and friend.
"Goodbye McDaddy" seems like such a simple phrase, yet it fails to capture the depth of emotions we feel as we witness the conclusion of your tenure as the band director for the UW Athletic Band. Your dedication, passion, and tireless efforts have left an indelible mark on the Husky football and athletic programs.
Through the highs and lows of countless seasons, your unwavering commitment to excellence has been the driving force behind the musical magic that echoed through the stadium. Your leadership has not only elevated the spirits of the team and fans but has also forged lasting memories for all who have had the privilege of being a part of the Husky family.
As we bid you farewell, I want to express my deep appreciation for the joy and inspiration you've brought into our lives. Your music became the heartbeat of our game days, creating an atmosphere of unity and pride that resonated far beyond the field.
