Honoring the Legacy of Gary Ciulla

Join us in celebrating the lasting impact of Gary Ciulla, a beloved music educator and band director whose dedication shaped the lives of countless students. Gary's influence spanned over three decades as a revered mentor in the Medina City Schools of Ohio, leaving an indelible mark on the thousands of students he taught.

In memory of Gary's profound commitment to music and education, we seek to commission a special wind ensemble piece—crafted by one of his favorite composers, David Gillingham —to serve as the centerpiece of a memorial concert commemorating his legacy.

Your generous donation will make a meaningful difference in commemorating Gary Ciulla's contributions to music education in Medina and nurturing the next generation of musicians.

We also encourage former band parents and students to share their cherished memories and experiences about "Mr. C." by leaving comments on this website. Your stories will beautifully illustrate the impact he had on so many lives.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to honor Gary's memory and perpetuate his legacy in music education. Your support is deeply appreciated.
