Official MHS Class of 1971 Reunion Band

 

Our class has been honored and so lucky to have our own reunion band, members who dedicate their time and talent to make our reunions unique and have the BEST entertainment of any class reunion in the Quad Cities!  They prepare and perform music we know and love from our high school years.

To commemorate our special 50th anniversary, the band created a music video, music and song written by our own Mike Riddle.  It is a wonderful way to honor our school, classmates, and home town!  Take a look (or two!) and take in the memories!
