Milford Schools Foundation was proud to offer one of our grants to make this happen! An event 100 years in the making. Yesterday afternoon , the Milford Schools Band traveled to one of Cincinnati’s most iconic landmarks, Cincinnati Music Hall, to celebrate a century of tradition and Milford pride. It was only fitting that a band with a century-long legacy would perform in a venue just as legendary. Over the years, Music Hall has welcomed world-class performers ranging from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Pops Orchestra to legendary artists like Prince, Ray Charles, and Johnny Cash making it one of the most storied stages in the country. Today, that stage belonged to Milford. A special thank you to the Milford Band Boosters and the Milford Schools Foundation for helping make this incredible experience possible for our students and for supporting a celebration a century in the making. Congratulations to our incredible band students and directors for continuing a tradition that has been more than 100 years in the making.

Milford Schools Foundation,
On behalf of the entire Milford Bands community, I wanted to share my deepest thanks to each and every one of you for your incredible support for our celebration of 100 years of the Milford Band program at Music Hall a few weeks ago.
Recognizing this cornerstone program of our school community as it celebrated its centennial provided an incredible opportunity for us to reflect upon how our bands have impacted our school community over the past ten decades. Through parades, concerts, halftime shows, and various other performances, this band program has, in so many ways, provided the heartbeat to our community. Having the opportunity to recognize the contributions of this program through this historic performance at one of our area's most iconic venues was truly special.
On March 8, nearly 200 students performed on the stage at Cincinnati Music Hall and I deeply believe that the experiences they had that day will last with them for their entire lives. They will tell stories of it to their children and grandchildren.
I wish you could have been present to see the expressions on the students’ faces when they first entered Springer Auditorium. They were in complete awe of the room and for a few of them, I even saw some tears in their eyes. YOU created these memories for each and every student musician on that stage that day. YOU created those lifelong memories they will pass down in the years to come. YOU provided our students a chance to perform on a world class stage.
The opportunity you provided these students was truly a once in a lifetime one. I am so glad so many of you were able to join us on March 8 in person to witness how truly impactful the entire concert was for our students!
I am so proud to work in this school community and have the great fortune of leading our fine and performing arts programs. I am continually inspired by the support the Milford Schools Foundation provides to our students. Your work and support does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Joshua Kauffman
