Special to ColumbiaMagazine.com

A very special moment happened the night of the KMEA State Marching Band Championship.

To say Beverly (Bev) Merritt was a fan of the Adair County Band program is a huge understatement.



Even though she didn't have children of her own. Beverly considered every child who put on the Adair uniform one of her own.

In honor of Bev her family was one of the sponsors of the KMEA Marching Band Plaques and it just so happened to be the second place Class 3A Plaque.

Adair was fortunate to win second place and in turn win the trophy that Bev's family had her name on.

We all know she was so proud to be able to give that award to the band she loved so deeply.

Her sister Carol Edwards and aunt Viola Fergerson presented the trophy to Ashley Simpson the field commander of the Adair County Band
It may have not been first place that we have all wanted, but I can assure you that Bev's family wasbrought to tears of joy to be able to be a part of that moment. - from CM Contributing Photographer
