In the late 1960's I played the b-flat tenor saxophone in the orchestra, band, and most notably the renowned stage band at Albert Leonard. All under the guiding hand of one Mr. Chido, who I will never forget. He was a kind and sweet soul, and an extraordinary music teacher. I learned countless sax pieces and solos, which he gave me the confidence to perform on many stages and even on a moving float in a parade!
I now wish I could have thanked him before he passed, and tell him how much he meant to me and all of the young musicians that he taught and inspired.
I remember Mr. Chido conducting the opening passages of Ave Maria in the orchestra, waiting until I gave the signal that I was ready to play the first few notes solo, and playing Woodchopper's Ball with the swinging, two-drummer stage band! I can still picture our rehearsal space at ALJHS.
Godspeed, Mr. Chido. You shall live on in my heart, and I am still telling stories about you in 2023 and beyond...
Sincerely,
Bradford P. Worthington

Peter Chido was the first band director of the Goodlettsville High School Band started abt. 1957. He was a top notch director who brought the Marching Trojans into early prominance in the Davidson County Tennessee School System.
He is still remembered fondly by his students to this day. We were so sorry to hear of his passing.
