Were musical ambassadors of Notre Dame, and I think its important for students, who get to experience so much, to be able to give back in some way,said Kenneth Dye, director of Notre Dame Bands.Music is a way to reflect in times of need and to communicate in a way that cant be accomplished with words. The band, which collected some $1,500 in donations for earthquake relief during its Commencement Weekend concert Friday (May 16) on campus, also will perform in Japan following its tour of China and will return to campus June 1. _ Contact: Kenneth Dye,_ " kdye@nd.edu ":mailto:kdye@nd.edu TopicID: 27946 Home Experts ND in the News Subscribe About Us For the Media Contact Office of Public Affairs and Communications Notre Dame News 500 Grace Hall Notre Dame, IN 46556 USA Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest © 2022 University of Notre Dame Search Mobile App News Events Visit Accessibility Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn
