The musicians come from all walks of life and professions, sharing a common interest in instrumental music. Experience levels vary, but most have experience playing in high school, college, military, or professional organizations. The band was formed in the fall of 1981 and has been continuously active. There have been several conductors with the group since it's inception, but the current conductor has been with the group since 1990. Concert performances occur about eight times throughout the year at various locations in and around the city.
Membership is open to anyone with instrumental experience.
An audition is not required, however, acceptance is subject to ensemble performance approval by the director. New members often share a similar story, they were active and enjoyed playing in their high school or college bands but haven't had their instruments out of the case lately. Everyone is given an opportunity to clear the cobwebs and rust from their instruments, and regain the pleasure and camaraderie of ensemble musical performance. If you are interested in becoming a member, or would like to inquire about contracting the band to perform for your event, please contact us. This page is maintained by Tom Sands.
