Something Big is Happening in Hyde Park the week of July 6…

A mystery two decades in the making is finally coming to light.


He was a small-town percussionist in rural West Virginia. He was the heartbeat of the high school band. Then, one day, he vanished. #FindTheBandMan

No one deserves to disappear.

"You were the awkward, hilarious kid who somehow made my weirdness feel more okay. I don’t think I ever told you what that meant to me..."

'"I miss you!"

"High school was so hard for me, and his antics brightened even the most hopeless days."

"Many good memories with [The Band Man]"
