Dr. John Paul Zdechlik (Gamma Pi / Gamma Alpha) 1937-2020

John wrote numerous commissioned and published works, all of which many of our members have played. His works are frequently performed in this country and around the world.

His family was with him on Zoom just prior to his passing. He leaves his wife of many years, Katie, and three children: John, Sarah, and Mark.

Due to the present circumstances, a Memorial will be held at a later date.

John contributed so much to the band world as a performer, conductor, and composer. His contributions will be missed.
