Band News 2008 PBOY Award for Prairie Brass Band

2008 PBOY Awarded to Paul Eakley

The Prairie Brass Band of Arlington Heights, IL has announced that the winner of the "Prairie Brassperson of the Year" award, known as the "PBOY AWARD" has been given to euphonium player Paul Eakley.

The award recognizes band members who, although not members of the board of directors, have contributed in many special ways to the success and growth of the band. This is essentially a service award, meant to recognize that on any successful team there must always be leaders, self-starters and people who just seem to get things done, usually without being asked. Band President Clark Niermeyer says, "Paul has worked exceedingly hard, in and out of the rehearsal room, to make this band a success and to inspire those members around him to do the same. He truly understands that to make "Team Prairie" a success requires more than just playing well".

Congratulations to Paul Eakley.
