Mr. Gerald J. Carasea
“If they’re playing with confidence, they’re marching with confidence.”
Mr. C served as the beloved band director at Cloverleaf High School for 34 years where he was a mentor and role model for many teachers and students.
Mr. C’s high energy, sharp focus and love of everything musical were instrumental in his success as a father, husband, friend, Challenger baseball coach, musician, music teacher, band director, music contest judge and educational music consultant.
Mr. C marched to the beat of his own drum…and he made sure we all followed him…and he made it fun…and he made us better people for it.

Once recipients are identified, their scholarship monies will be sent directly to the post-secondary institution they have chosen to attend.
Other types of requests from the Cloverleaf Local Schools Music Departments, such as help with supplying instruments or music or assisting with pay to participate fees, may also be considered.
