History

In late 1998 a small group of local musicians led by Marian Craig, a librarian and flutist, met with the idea of forming a community concert band. The band first rehearsed in March of 1999 with one Flute, one Clarinet, and one Euphonium under the direction of Les Krause. The band first performed at a ‘Cinco de Mayo’ celebration for the Downtown Merchants Association.
