F.H. Hanneman biography
In 1917, Fredrick Hanneman moved to Mount Horeb to direct the city band. He started the high school band in 1923, and by 1926, it was an academic subject earning full credit towards graduation at Mount Horeb High School.
Mr. Hanneman’s influence spread beyond Mount Horeb as he started school bands in Dodgeville, Verona, Blanchardville, Middleton, Sun Prairie, and Barneveld. The Milwaukee Journal dubbed him a “musical circuit ride” in a 1963 newspaper article. At one point he was extremely ill and would rehearse bands in various schools by listening to the bands practice via telephone, offering comments afterwards.
In 1967, he was honored by the music parents at the high school spring concert, when an award was established in his honor.
