Theo Bovens as its patron.<\/p>\n<p>Theo had long been closely involved with the band and also served as chairman of the uniform fund. Accepting the role of patron was not a given for him, but a carefully considered decision. The appointment of a patron was the first in half a century, underscoring the special and unique nature of this position within our organization. The band considers it a great honor and privilege that Theo has taken the band under his wing.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: museo;\">Career<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Theo served for many years as an alderman and deputy mayor of the city of Maastricht. He later became King\u2019s Commissioner in the province of Limburg, acting mayor of the city of Enschede, and is currently parliamentary group leader for the CDA in the Dutch Senate. Theo is married to Lizzy, and together they have a daughter. Scouting and music run like a common thread through their lives.\n\nHis father, They, was chairman of the band in the 1960s, and Theo himself was briefly part of the instructional team in the 1970s. Theo is also the founder and a musician of *Zaate Herremenie T\u00eate de Veau*, and for many years he served as chairman of the impressive choir *Capella Sancti Servati*. Theo\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 extends far beyond this brief overview. His deep love for the city of Mestreech needs no further explanation\u2014and that affection is very much mutual.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mjedvb4c-4bf1d36e18f28a50ac9d9b8c540b9938\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mjedvb4c-4bf1d36e18f28a50ac9d9b8c540b9938{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mjedvb4c-4bf1d36e18f28a50ac9d9b8c540b9938 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-ywfc-e0cbdbe06c1207f71792394819691ca3 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div'   ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15970,"parent":273,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-28","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Beschermheer: Drs.
