Spring Rehearsals
The Marshall County Community Band is preparing for a 5th summer of entertaining performances. With new music, new concerts, and many new faces in the band, it will be an exciting summer for everyone!

There are several rehearsals scheduled this spring to begin preparing for the summer concert series. The dates are January 29, February 26, March 25, and April 22. These are all on Tuesdays, in the Marysville HS band room, beginning at 7:00 pm. These rehearsals are open to anyone who wants to come play. We will be reading many potential new selections for the summer concerts. Anyone who has ever played a band instrument is encouraged to come play. Even if you haven't picked up your horn since your school days, come give it a try--- it will be fun! There are opportunities available for anyone who would like to play.

Wanted: Old Band Instruments!
Do you have an old instrument that is just sitting in a closet or attic gathering dust? Do you know anybody that does? The Community Band can help you find a use for that old horn.  We have been very fortunate and grateful to have access to the facilities and equipment of the Marysville bands. But as the school band program continues to grow in the next few years, it will become a challenge to have enough equipment for everybody. In order to provide instruments for band members that want to play in the Community Band, we are accepting tax-deductible donations of old instruments that can be repaired and used by musicians that do not have their own.

Wanted: Old Band Students! (and young ones, too)
Of course, an even better use of that old horn is to bring it to a rehearsal--and then stay and play it! If you would like to give the band a try, but maybe that old horn isn't in the best shape, contact us about repair options. We will help you find a way to get that instrument back in playing shape so you can, too.

The Community Band was created for the purpose of giving local musicians in Marshall County an opportunity to play and perform music, not only for themselves but also for the residents of the communities in our area. Playing music is a skill that can last a lifetime, and has many benefits. Studies have linked involvement in music to better verbal skills and recognition, improved memory, and more focused, improved brain activity. Music improves critical analysis skill, creative thinking, appreciation of other cultures and perspectives, and ability to adapt to new situations. It's also a great way to relax, de-stress, and have fun with other musicians. With these and so many other benefits, everybody should give the Community Band a try!

Help us put "you" in the Community Band!
