15th Annual Kieb Scholarship Memorial Band Golf Outing

Do you enjoy golf? Would you like to golf while raising money for a Manchester High School band scholarship? You can do both while remembering MHS drumline instructor, Christopher Kieb at a memorial golf outing and fund-raiser on Wednesday, June 26th at Lake Forest Golf Club, located at 3110 West Ellsworth Rd in Ann Arbor. 

To register visit http://kiebgolfouting.wixsite.com/golf . Register as an individual golfer for $80 or a team of 4 golfers for $320. You can also register for dinner only, without golf, for $20. Registration is open through June 10th. Organizers are also looking for hole sponsors, prize hole sponsors and donations. Questions? Contact Robert Bush at rmbtimpani1@gmail.com or 734-679-3402.

The golf outing was established in 2004 by Bush and MHS band director Jared Throneberry after Kieb’s sudden death. The scholarship funded by the outing is awarded to a graduating student from the MHS band program who participates in a collegiate music program (not necessarily as a music major). Over $14,000.00 has been awarded so far.

Kieb attended Eastern Michigan University and participated and performed with the EMU Marching Band as a member of the Drumline, performed with the Plymouth Fife and Drum Corps and was a member of Kappa Kappa Psi (National Band Fraternity, dedicated to service for the university band).  Each summer Kieb worked with the Manchester High School Marching Band as the Percussion and Marching instructor.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
