📸 Pictured here, a band made up of past students, current students, mentors, mentees, and colleagues who debuted a piece called "Legacy" composed by Craig Fitzpatrick to honor Mr. Chapman's career.

"Thank you to everyone who made our final concert of the year a fantastic success. I was simply blown away by the love and sincere admiration directed my way. Thank you so much for putting together the commissioned piece. I couldn’t believe it. It was an amazing tribute I couldn’t have dreamed about in a million years. It really touched my heart. It is a gift that is priceless. I appreciate all the students who worked so hard on the difficult music and grew through their efforts. The entire band family should be proud of these wonderful musicians. Congratulations to all the award recipients. It was well deserved! Congratulations to our Seniors! Thank you for making music for all four years at IVC. I hope you can find ways to continue to play your instrument and/or sing and enjoy making music throughout your lives." -Mr. Chapman
