Welcome Panther Band

Alumni and Friends

The goal of the WGH Panther Band Historical Association: The Fleming Legacy is to preserve the memory of Panther band director Robert Fleming, assistant band directors Clinton Foster and John Kobasiar, Jr., the legacy directors and bands that followed, and to preserve our hard-won artistic accomplishments for posterity.

Partnered with the Trumbull County Historical Society, we are collecting memorabilia and artifacts for an exhibit of an extraordinary era in the band's early history.

Our purpose is to remember and honor our esteemed director and teacher who so indelibly influenced the lives of countless student musicians, and who contributed immensely to the musical life of Warren, Ohio and beyond.
