To the editor:
Calling all musicians! I am a retired director of the United States Air Force Academy Drum and Bugle Corps and I am looking for musicians. Along with some other marching band members, I am trying to see if there is interest out there to march in an All State Marching Band.
We are in the planning stages and want all the input we can get. Our tentative plans are to have rehearsals in different areas of the state, then combining the groups for performances. There appears to be much interest in having a marching band for parades and festivals throughout the state and we would love to fill that void.
We anticipate starting rehearsals in April and marching in parades this summer. What we need now are musicians! We are looking for junior high, and high school students who need the experience and practice, rusty musicians who want to get back in shape and just about anyone who can play an instrument and can march. We’ve done this before and it is fun.
If you are a musician and are interested give me a call. We also need more instructors and some support people.
