About Me:
The purpose of any band is to give enrichment and joy to life. We hold that live music is enriching, exciting, and exhilarating to both performers and audience. It should be available to all people to either play or listen to as they desire. We see our dual mission as creating an environment in which adults with little band experience can enjoy the benefits of playing while bringing live music to people in the community who may not otherwise have it to enjoy. Our program is designed to meet these two needs and they are the foundation for our further development.
Profile of Our Band
The Around The Sound Community Band is a dynamic entity. We are incorporated as a not for profit organization.
Currently we offer a beginning/intermediate band. We provide an opportunity for individuals, families or couples to enjoy mutual experience in making music.
Our band is a group of warm, caring people who love making music.
Our band has become a community in its own right. There is a core of members who care for each other with patience and understanding. Those who have some experience remember being new and have patience. Being a member is as much about the fun as about the music. The good vibes of the group brings the music to life. We all love seeing a new face and welcoming a new member.
Our band members range from high school students to World War II veterans. We provide a place where families and friends can meet as equals in producing and providing a service to the community.
As a volunteer organization we have a changing profile. The actual makeup of the band is dependent on who wishes to play at any given time. We are always open to new players and welcome observation, drop-in playing, and new membership.
Our band is governed by a Board of Directors that is elected from the membership. Additionally, there are a number of jobs that are done by volunteers within the band. There are opportunities for any level of involvment members desire.
Our band does charge a modest tuition, set by the board, and sufficient to cover expenses. This changes from time to time and current information can be obtained by contacting us.
