From the Podium
Summer Concerts Coming
Rollie Kohl, Conductor
Hi, Folks! The 2008 season is upon us. We are making great strides in upgrading the music level of the band. New music has been added to our repertoire, mostly at level 4; last season we were adding pieces at level 3. I am still looking for a couple of numbers that are really stimulating and a little more difficult to play. When we are able to add these pieces to our repertoire, we will be set for a really great season.
I really appreciate the contributions our new members have made to our improvements. And with respect to adding new members, I'd like to encourage anyone interested in playing in the band to contact me. If you feel that your skills a a little deficient, I can help you begin making a contribution to the band rather quickly, and feel good about it.
I am also eager to add skilled musicians to the band. Skilled players raise the level of the entire band through their individual ability and as a mentor for less skilled players. Skilled players will find a challenge in the new music I am adding.
Musicians should be able to begin a concert focused on their music rather than unloading chairs and music stands. To help concerts run a little smoother, Jim Atkins, our new Executive Director, is making a plea for non playing individuals to help with non playing duties. If anyone you know has an interest in supporting the band as a non musical volunteer, please have them call Jim at 522-0052 or me at 773-0431. We can find a spot for their time and talent.
Come join us and help increase the quality of life for the Flagstaff community.
