With a long history of civic involvement, the band consists of a number of area directors and well-known performers as well as young band students. Eighth grade students perform side by side with retired professional musicians. With 20 members the band has plenty of talent to draw on and a lot of good music to share. Together the band draws an appreciative audience rain or shine.
Director Sander Grotjohn compiles a weekly program of rousing patriotic, classical, and jazz numbers for his audience. Bonnie Kangas says, "You name it; we play it." The July 7 program included a number of rousing marches, the armed services medley and show tunes.
This week's program is yet a mystery though Eileen Grosland assures me, "It's in the making and it will be great." More information forthcoming. . . .
