Van writes, “I learned at an early age that music stirs the soul. When the Lord calls we need to listen. He will continually restore Joy in your heart. My joy comes through music and I can only hope to convey that to others that enjoy playing and singing. Fairview has been friendly and welcoming since I began directing the band in January of 2017. We would love to have you join us in the Fairview Band.” Praise the Lord with music!
