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 Stewart, and Richard Harner.

The Chemical City Band participated once again in the Give Local fund raiser this year, netting $1,935.95 in contributions and matching funds.  Thanks to all who called in on this single day event!
