Chester (Chet) Ehrenberger
Chester (Chet) Ehrenberger has the honor of being the band member with the longest consecutive membership.

He is the only band member who can boast that he has played at least one concert every year. During Chet's years as a member he has performed hundreds of solo passages on his Euphonium. Chester doesn't play every week anymore, but still takes a seat under the band shell several weeks each summer.

He served as band director at McKinley Junior High and Middle School for 35 years. In addition Bob has been a private teacher of brass students, and is chair of the Band Commission. Besides occupying his chair in the trombone section, he has appeared as soloist and guest director of the band a number of times.
