I saw this picture in an antique store in Minocqua. The Wausau Concert Band is well represented in the back row. Les Maddox was our assistant conductor and star baritone player. Third Row L to R: Harold Macdonald, Tommy Litzer, Skip Kraemer, Les Maddox, Clarence Konopacki, John Fehl, Art Dornstrich. I did the colorization.

John Rhyner found a couple of pictures of the band from the early 1970’s. We’ll have to see how many people we can identify. The conductor is Bud Rozelle with the band at Marathon Park. John’s dad Ray is playing trumpet in both pictures. Click on the picture to see the names of the players. Thanks to Brian Seehafer, Don Zamzow and Louis Pradt for putting names to faces.
