Mr. Ravelli brought out the best in me as a student and sax player. He was always positive and encouraging. I loved concert and jazz bands and was disappointed that I couldn't just continue those classed after qualifying for early graduation.

Mr. Revelli was my favorite teacher of all time. He would tell me the safest place on campus was in the Band room. I think he was right as I know I always felt welcomed and comfortable in this room. Playing and practicing my clarinet. I remember at the end of the school year he wrote "Peace & Quite" with the symbol of the Peace sign. His memory will be a happy memory of High School Days!
