Bring Back Your Memories of 1954 to 1965
The Melodiers Dance Band performed at many dances, proms, and special events in the Humboldt County area between 1955 and 1965. The band was formed when the original members were students at Eureka Jr. High School and continued throughout their high school and college years. Because all of the members of the Melodiers got their start in the Eureka City Elementary Schools instrumental music program, they have created a fund to give an annual award to that program. A CD, originally recorded by the Melodiers in 1957 and 1961, is available as a gift to anyone contributing to The Melodiers Dance Band Endowment Fund. Members of the Melodiers have included Richard Coe, Bill Crichton, Mark Gaedicke, Ted Howland, Dennis Hunter, Tom McGowan, Bob Neloms, John Sander, Richard Sloma, Keith Weidkamp, and Noel Weidkamp.
