Ashland Area Community Concert Band Announces Spring 2010 Schedule

The Ashland University Department of Music and the Ashland Area Community Concert Band (AACCB), with Leonard Salvo as director, announce the AACCB’s spring 2010 schedule.

Regular rehearsals begin Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., in the Elizabeth Pastor Recital Hall in the Center for the Arts, and continue each Tuesday throughout the semester. AACCB concerts for the spring are on April 25 in Hugo Young Theatre in the Center for the Arts and on June 20 at Brookside Park in Ashland.

Requirements for membership are the ability to play a wind or percussion instrument, particularly clarinet, bass clarinet, percussion, bassoon, oboe and French horn (no need to be a virtuoso); an interest in playing for enjoyment; desire to play a wide variety of music for the public; and an interest in meeting new people who share a common interest.

Students still in high school must have permission of the conductor.

Last season’s members are invited back for another great season, and new members are always encouraged to become members of this exciting part of the Ashland musical community. Continuing education or college credit is available.

Come to the first meeting on Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. or contact Leonard Salvo, director of bands, at 419-289-5132 or lsalvo@ashland.edu.
