After a long break, the Shinnston Community Band is gearing up for the summer. A few changes are in store for this session. Bill Way has decided to take a much deserved break from conducting this session. He is still involved in the band and will be playing trumpet. Mike Cale has graciously stepped in to lead us through the summer. Randall Hall has also returned and may be conducting a number or two. Thanks to all for what they do for the band. We all appreciate it!

Also, music will be handled a little differently than in the past. Each section will have a Section Librarian that will be responsible for handing out music to their section. If you need music see your Section Librarian.

Finally (and most importantly), the Independence Day Concert and Fireworks event is scheduled for July 1 at the Shinnston City Park. This is biggest event of the year for the band and the city. Please attempt to make all rehearsals for this concert. Since we’re getting a late start it’s important we all attend as many as possible to put on a quality show.

Remember–BRING A FRIEND!!
