Community band seeking new members for fall season
18 August 2019 News
OSHKOSH — The Oshkosh Area Community Band is beginning its 33rd concert season, and new members always are welcome.
Post-high school musicians are invited to join the band – there are no auditions and no membership fees. Rehearsals begin Sept. 9 and will be held at 7 p.m. Mondays in the band room of Oshkosh West High School.
Dave Berndt is starting his second season as the musical director and conductor.
Concerts will be performed in the Alberta Kimball Auditorium on Nov. 2; and at the Grand Opera House Dec. 15 with the annual Christmas carol singalong.
The band is an activity of the Oshkosh Recreation Department. It has grown from fewer than 20 musicians three decades ago to more than 50 today. Performance selections include show tunes, marches, classical arrangements and music commissioned for the band.
Information about the band can be found at www.oacb.org. Anyone interested in joining can contact Stan Kline at 920-203-7309.
