The 1983 band was later named the nation's best open class band of the decade. Willard Scott, NBC television personality, once called the band "The best band I've ever seen" during a television broadcast.[7] The Forest Lake High School Marching Band performed in the 1987 and 1992 Pasadena Rose Parades, and the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was later disbanded, and returned in 2016 under the direction of Forest Lake High School alumnus and Southwest Junior High band teacher Jake Matheson.[9] Popular cultureA 1920 certified proof of U.S. currency, issued by First National Bank of Forest Lake, depicting William McKinley and Hugh McCulloch, is part of the collection at the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution.[10] A poem, "To The Aurora Borealis", written by Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda while visiting Forest Lake in 1927, appears in the book Songs of the Soul.[11] Peter L.
