Frederick
"Fred" C. Eppley
For
54 years, 4-H has been a major part of Fred Eppley's
life. Throughout 44 years as an advisor. Fred Eppley
and the 4-H band which he leads have been an important
part of the lives of hundreds of young people. His life
work as a farmer may make him seem an unlikely candidate
for a 4-H band advisor. With other family members, he
owns and operates a 700-acre potato and grain farm.
Music is his hobby, not the basis for his paycheck.
While in high school, Fred was active in band and choir.
He still plays the trumpet, tuba, piano, and organ,
but has never had any formal musical education beyond
high school.
Fred
believes the 4-H band not only teaches and improves
the musical skills of members, but just as importantly
guides young people into good citizenship through the
group cooperation and social skills they learn as 4-H
members.
