Greetings everyone!
My name is Tyler D’Hondt, Mr. D for short is okay, and I graduated from Siena
Heights University in Adrian, MI, with my degree in instrumental music
education. I am principally a percussionist, but I also take great pride in my
ability to play other instruments as well.
I graduated from St. Johns High School in 2019 so I can confidently say that I am
familiar with our band program. All of my brothers were part of the band, so I
have had the pleasure of taking part in our program from a very young age. I
will do my absolute best to carry on our quality of work, student experience,
and service to the community.
Sincerely,
Tyler D’Hondt

This is just a quick reminder that Parker has signed up to be one of our 6th Grade
Camp counselors. He should already have a detailed hard copy of everything
that he needs to accomplish, but just as a reminder I send the parents of our
student volunteers a checklist.
Please make sure that Parker has completed and/or submitted all of these tasks
7 days in advance to our date of departure:

This happened, as I am sure you are aware of, several weeks ago. I am
reaching out now to see what the status is on his new glasses. Seeing as this is
affecting his ability to perform, it is a very pressing issue. Not to overstep my
boundaries, but if there are any reasons that the arrival of Parker’s new glasses
is delayed, please do let me know. I would love for us to work together in
finding a solution to get him back up and running the way that we both know
he can!
Sincerely,
Tyler D’Hondt

Greetings everyone!
What a ride this year has been! I want to thank you all for taking part in forming
this family that we have built this year. We have all struggled and triumphed
together to carry on our traditions. We have all shed blood, sweat, and tears
through our pursuit of great music and we are all closer for it. We accomplished
everything that we said we would accomplish. Straight I’s in both marching and
concert band festivals for the 43rd consecutive year!
I cannot put into words just how proud I am of all of you. From the bottom of my
heart, thank you to my students, thank you to their families who support them
and support the program!
To my seniors,
I wish the best of luck to you in your future endeavors. I have had the absolute
pleasure of watching you all grow into fine young adults. Never forget where
you come from and never stop looking to the future.
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication this year. I hope that you
can say that this was a memorable time and that you carry those memories
with you going forward.
To everyone else,
Sincerely,
Tyler D’Hondt
