Veterans of Haines and Klukwan were honored by a program of instrumental and vocal music Monday night, Nov. 7, presented by the Haines High School band and choir. Ably led by Kristina Mulready and Teresa Land, the young musicians took us on a tour de force of Americana including a stirring instrumental medley of Sousa marches and a vocal rendition of the song of each branch of the military service. The enthusiastic applause by the audience reflected both respect for the talent and efforts of the musicians and a deep appreciation for the respect being shown to the veterans. On behalf of all the vets, a sincere thank you to Kristina, Teresa and all the student musicians. It’s heart-warming to know that Americanism is alive and well in Haines and Klukwan.
