Wabash Valley Musicians Hall of Fame

'Promoting fellowship and friendship among all musicians of the Wabash Valley'

Band of Angels

This page lists musicians who have passed away and been inducted into the Band of Angels (the BOA), and displays pictures where available.  Please visit the Band of Angels page in the About Us section for learn about the Band of Angels.

There are two lists below.  The first is for musicians who were mambers of the Hall of Fame, followed by a list of musicians who were not members of the Hall of Fame.

Unlike other pages on this site, which list names alphabetically in columns (up and down), this page lists names in alphabeteically in rows (left to right).  Given the large number of names in the BOA, maintenance of the page would be nearly impossible if names were alphabetized in columns.
