2022: Linda Flaker

Linda had a love and passion for the marching arts and its participants. From her early days marching with the Imperial Knight in Midland Park NJ to being a proud band backer for her children, she emersed herself in the marching arts community for decades.

You could see her smiling face selling merchandise for the CT Hurricanes and DCA. She most enjoyed being a tabulator for US Bands and MAC which she did until her passing.

We miss you everyday, Lin!
