Mr. Peron was a great person and great music teacher. I was in Orchestra for three years, played French Horn and truly learned to appreciate music through his encouragement and teaching.

I remember working with him while on the drill team, it was a group effort. He was a fantastic instructor and there are many wonderful memories of parades and half-time shows. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
