Dear IBA Members,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our colleague and friend, Patrick Patterson, long-time band director in the Sioux City Community School District.
Patrick served the students of Sioux City for over a decade, starting at East Middle School in 2014 before moving to West Middle School and West High School in 2015, where he served as band director and quiz bowl sponsor. Outside of the classroom, Patrick was an accomplished percussionist in the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra and the All-America Band, and many of us enjoyed watching his YouTube series, Pat Pat’s Cooking Show!!!.
