Press Release:
Our Beloved Director of The Dundee Scots Mr. Doyle Heffron
In memory of Mr. T. Doyle Heffron, formerly of Dundee, Illinois and as a tribute to the beloved director of the Dundee Scots, a memorial tribute will commence on September 6, 2008 at St. Catherine of Siena Church in West Dundee in concert with the Fox Valley Irish Festival at 5:00 p.m.
The service will begin with music from some of the bands original members including pipers and brass in the lower level of the church with fellowship and an audio/video displays.
Mr. Heffron directed the Dundee Scots for 14 years marching many victory trophies home to Dundee. Included in the
long list of 1st place trophies include St .Petersburg 1975, Traverse City 1974 and 1975, Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade 1976.
Mr. Heffron and the Dundee Scots were a unique group as the dedication the members displayed was evident in the bands rank & file both on and off the field. The band was supported by the Dundee Scot Band Boosters, parents, friends, and private donations to enable travel from Winnepeg Canada, Traverse City Michigan, St. Petersburg Florida, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
Mrs. Judy Heffron along with the couple’s children, Matt, Kelly, Holly, and Terry will be accepting the memorial from the Scots. The band has chosen special vase etched with a Scottish Piper to commemorate a man who touched many lives as a teacher, director, leader, and friend.
Heffron’s idea to dress the band in full Scottish attire was well received from the audience and the judges. His military precision and discipline while working with the Scots taught the members many life lessons that have carried forward and will never be forgotten. Please join us at the memorial service as we celebrate the life of Mr. T. Doyle Heffron, with grateful thanks.
