Each week we have a single rehearsal on Monday @ 7 PM in the Dow High School music room. This performance schedule requires talented & dedicated musicians who demonstrate excellent sight-reading skills. Steve DeRees will continue as our conductor for this season. Additional members of the CCB Board of Directors include Susan Gessford, Richard Scott, Gaye Terwillegar, Mara Simanskey, and Richard Harner.
On a sad note, we lost Bob Johnson on March 17 to an automobile accident. Bob was an active member of the Chemical City Band for over 50 years, and served as president and chairman of the board until 2015. Recalling his talent for playing most reed instruments and his unique sense of humor, he will be missed by all.
On July 19 the Chemical City Band will play a joint concert with the Auburn Community Band of Auburn, IN (www.acbindiana.com). They are celebrating their 35th anniversary with a trip to Midland. Bill Burk, a long time resident of Midland, moved to Indiana and has orchestrated this first meeting of the two bands.
