what's a wamba?
I met Mark Moffit of the King Wamba parade on Saturday at the Sister Cities event. I had invited him to hear us perform the Wamba March. Below is a link to the parade's website and more about the history of the event. We will do some investigating to find out more about the history behind the actual music, Mark was unaware that such a piece existed.

Andrew S. Majer
3-13-1924 ~ 3-15-2010
Andrew 'Andy' was born in Karatfold, Hungary and came to the U.S. in 1951 receiving his citizenship March 21, 1957. He married his favorite nurse Nancy (Simon) on October 10, 1953 at St. Stephen Catholic Church. Nancy preceded him in death in September of 1991. Andy worked at Nabisco, L.O.F., and retired from Toledo Public Schools. He was proud of his Catholic faith and for many years sang in the Choir at St. Stephen and St. Thomas Aquinas. He was also an usher at St. Thomas and had been an active member of the Holy Name Society as well. Andy was also a proud member of the Knights of Columbus joining Our Lady of Fatima Council 3564 and later transferring to St. Jerome Council 11450. He became a Sir Knight of the Toledo General Assembly 807 (now the Bishop Hoffman Assembly) in 1964 and was active with honor guard for many years. He was also active in the community until an unfortunate accident several years ago. He volunteered with the Area Office on Aging, the Senior Centers in East Toledo and Rossford and R.S.V.P. program with the Toledo Police Department. Andy is survived by his brother, Frank (Gizella) of Gersakarat Hungary; sons, Steve (Patti) of Toledo, Mark and daughter, Jayne, of Oregon; grandchildren, Andrew and Bridget, of Toledo; great-grandson, Clayton, of Toledo; nephews, Laslo and Frank and niece, Margaret and many great-nieces and nephews in Hungary.

International Festival update
International Festival Update
I am excited for us to play this Saturday next to the Erie Street Market for the International Festival from 11:55 to 12:30. Stands will be provided. I have been informed that the Festival has already sold 500 tickets to the event. Local news personalities will be the masters of ceremonies and the event will be filmed. This is NOT a political event.
The event will feature multiple groups
TIME: Saturday 11:55 AM-12:30 PM
LOCATION: NEXT TO ERIE STREET MARKET – DOWNTOWN TOLEDO, OH
ATTIRE: SUMMER UNIFORMS
STANDS PROVIDED.
This festival is an attempt to revitalize an old tradition of an international festival in Toledo, OH.
I met with many performers last night and think this will be a fun event.
Arrive approximately 45 minutes before our performance. If you wish to come earlier and/or stay later, please feel free. I believe the festival would be enhanced greatly by those of you who can stay and mingle with the public.
See you Tuesday.
Thanks,
Nathan
