The weather was not very cooperative this year - one concert was cancelled and three others were moved (due to rain and smoke) to Central Auditorium. We wish to thank all those who attended, regardless of last minute changes to the venue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The drum shells were available for cash contributions during each concert. We received over $400 one evening, a new record for CCB! During the 2023 season, 77 musicians performed at least 1 concert, and 15 played (or rehearsed) for all 7. Instrumentation gaps were filled by talented high school & college students, accounting for 14 of our personnel this year. Finally, we averaged 46 players each week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The CCB has a 6 member Board of Directors who are also performing members of the band:</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Richard S. Harner, president</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Susan M. Gessford, vice-president</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Gaye Terwillegar, secretary</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Richard L. Scott, treasurer</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mara Stewart, publicity director</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Stephen E. DeRees, music director</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;">The CCB operates with 3 paid staff positions. Sue Gessford serves as personnel manager, Beth Thomas as librarian, and Steve DeRees as band conductor. Additionally, Tom Broka was our guest conductor on July 19 and Justin Taylor was the featured trombone soloist on June 28.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to contributions from the general public, the Board would like to acknowledge operating financial support from the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation and the Alden and Vada Dow Family Foundation. The CCB also participated in the Give Local Midland one-day fund raiser in May, sponsored by the Midland Area Community Foundation (MACF). Without this local support, the CCB would not be viable.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Contributions to the CCB Endowment Fund, administered by the MACF, can be made at any time by indicating the Chemical City Band long term investment fund #545. Any income in excess of expenses is deposited in our MACF fund with a goal of self-sufficiency in the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The weather cooperated again this year with all 7 concerts performed outdoors. We want to thank all those who donated in the drum shells during the concerts, including a $2 bill, Canadian coins, and 50 cent rolls of pennies.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">During the 2022 season, 78 musicians performed at least 1 concert and 9 were present for all 7 concerts. 14 high school and college students participated in addition to 11 current or retired school music directors. In all, 48 musicians performed each week on average. We honored one musician with 50 years of performance experience with the CCB, and acknowledged those with 40+ and 30+ years in the band.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The CCB has a 6 member Board of Directors, who are also performing members of the band:</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Richard S.

Gerstacker Foundation. The CCB also participated in the Give Local Midland one-day fundraiser in May, sponsored by the Midland Area Community Foundation. Contributions to the CCB endowment fund administered by the MACF can be made at any time by indicating the Chemical City Band long term investment fund #545.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:

With cooperating weather, we were able to hold all 7 rehearsals and perform 7 concerts outdoors this year. We consistently had large and appreciative audiences, setting an all time record on June 30 for cash/coin donations in the drum shells. On another occasion we received a significant number of Canadian coins which were exchanged for equivalent US currency.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Although our nation continues to struggle with the Covid-19 pandemic, the Chemical City Band returned to almost normal operations this summer. Those few unvaccinated musicians (mostly younger folks) were asked to wear a mask upon arriving and departing the stage. The average number of players per performance was back up to 48 (39 in 2020), drawing from a total of 69 musicians this year. Our ages ranged from 14 to 83. 19 dedicated musicians played all 7 concerts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The CCB has a 6 member Board of Directors, who are also members of the band:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Richard S. Harner, president</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Susan Gessford, vice-president</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gaye Terwillegar, secretary</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Richard L.
