The Doane music department is grieving the loss of Randy Bargman, a custodian in the Doane Communications Building for 27 years. He died last week after a short battle with colon cancer. Randy was always willing to serve our music students and help out in any way with our concerts and various events. We'll all miss him. The Doane Choir was asked by the family to provide music for the service, which is at 10:30 AM this coming Thursday morning, at the First Congregational Church here in Crete. One of the 2 pieces we'll be singing is "Precious Lord" and we'd welcome any and all alumni to come and join us.

We are all thinking about and praying for Randy's family. He will be so missed.

We are so lightly here.

Day 1 of Doane Choir was a success! We were able to meet in the beautiful band room of our new performing arts center while we are waiting for the new choir room to be complete. We are so happy to welcome some new tigers to our choir as well as to rejoin hands with our friends from last year! It’s always great to get to see everyone on the first Wednesday of the school year. We may not have sang today, but the room was full of excitement!

The Doane music and theatre departments are working to remember and commemorate the life of Dan "The Man" Peters, a Doane music and theatre alumnus who died suddenly last month. His obituary is here: https://www.roperandsons.com/obit/daniel-dan-the-man-edward-peters/

Our first goal is to install a large paver in his memory between the Communications Building and Perry; we're in touch with Dan's parents about the paver text. Any funds raised beyond the $500 paver will be rolled into Doane's ongoing capital campaign, which includes a new theatre and new and renovated music facilities. Click this custom link to donate:

Whether or not you are able to contribute, please join us in sending prayers and positive thoughts to Dan's grieving family. We are so lightly here.

Best to all, Dr. Kurt Runestad and Doane's music & theatre families

Give in Dan Peters’ Memory
