The best teacher I ever had. I think about him almost every day when I am teaching MY band ... "what would George do/say"? He accepted everyone for who they were, and made band seem like the most important thing you could do. A total inspiration through and through.

Even though I only knew him for a short time, it made coming to UMass worthwhile. I now have a 350 member family I know I can count on. Moving on to a new year will be difficult, but after everything Mr. Parks taught us I know we will get through it together. With Pride <3

George Parks is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and quite simply the most incredible instructor I have ever have. I only wish that I could have spent more time as a student. No one else can make sleeping on a gym floor with 350 "of your closest friends" sound like the best night of your life.

Parks is amazing. He will bend over backwards to help you out, hes one of those teachers that teaches much more than the subject. He is cocky but can back it up and he has so much enthusiasm that its hard for anyone to not have fun when around him.

This man has touched more lives than the red cross. He is always willing to help you out with you need it, he will always lend you an ear (if you ask for it,) and he will NEVER criticise you. He has taken 350 people who would normally never get along and has molded them into one of the finest marching bands in the country. GOD BLESS GNP!

I don't go to UMASS but I went to DMA for 2 years...all I can say is ...this man is amazing amazing AMAZING and that the Reading Buccaneers are not the same without him :-). He is THE BEST teacher I have ever had the good fortune to come into contact with. Unfortunately I chose to forgo going to UMASS due to financial reasons, but he was the reason
