Junior High School & Swan Valley Regional Secondary School Band students joined us, as well. The Band Directors had recruited many students to our Community Band. And, those Directors have been very involved with our organization, realizing the benefit of a place to participate after you graduate. Our membership fluctuates between 30 and 35, yearly.<\/p>\n

Our Community Band has had different groups within it, namely:
\nThe Faithful Five\u20145 faithful members who got together to practice & formed a group playing jazz, stage band music\u2014two Trumpets, Trombone, Piano, Clarinet.
\nFrom the Top\u2014this group evolved from the The Faithful Five when the numbers grew.
\nValley Brass\u2014Quintet playing Canadian Brass type music\u2014two Trumpets, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba
\nThe Tarnished Brass–evolved from the Valley Brass
\nTake 5 Sax\u2014quintet of Saxophones\u2014alto, tenor, baritone<\/p>\n

Our members range from early twenties to possible 80\u201ds. No one has ever been brave enough to ask \u201cHow old are You?\u201d We do know how old our Director is, though! All walks of life participate in our group. We LOVE music. That is the bond between us, developing many friendships.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We welcome anyone to join us. We are always happy to see new faces, even some of those we have seen in the past. If you think you are too rusty, that does not matter, it is like riding a bike. It all comes back to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
