Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of working with boardmanbands and their amazing band director, Tom Ruggieri, to put on a concert of some amazing music including: jazz standards, funk classics, and original songs from toomanyzooz as well as your favorite 2SAXY tunes! 🎶 And, if you didn’t already know, Mr. Ruggieri had advocated for the past several years to help make that incredible performance possible! 🎷

Just last month, after spending over the past 2 decades teaching at Boardman High School—his very own Alma Mater—Mr. Ruggieri retired! And we’re honored to have been featured in one of his last concerts as a band director! 🌟

The first time we were ever put in touch with Tom, his ever-lasting passion for music and education was loud and clear. It has been our pleasure to work with such a talented and hospitable person! Thank you for having us at Boardman, Mr. Ruggieri, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement!! ⛱🥁🤩
