Maryland All-State Community Band

[Heavy_Metal]

featuring the best musicians from community bands in Maryland, will perform July 21st at River Hill High School, Clarksville, MD. Dr. Harlan Parker of Peabody will conduct. Poster is attached, and I'll fill in the music titles when I get them.

The school is on MD 108 just north of MD 32 and south of Columbia.

The band will have 54 musicians, with three tubas.

Who are the 3 tuba players?

[Heavy_Metal]

Neal Sipe, Nicholas Proszkow and me.

Congrats. I don't think I've ever met you or Nicholas (though his name sounds familiar). I know Neal well, I played with him for many years. Great guy!

Sounds great. I was wondering how were the musicians selected for this group?

Great idea! Maybe we could do that here in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.

I know Frank (Heavy_Metal), in my opinion he deserves the honor.

Good job, you will have fun!

Sounds pretty neat. If I were playing with a comm. band these days I would have considered this.

You can always come to the concert

[Doug Elliott]

Nice concert today... but only one tuba. Was that you or somebody else?

[Heavy_Metal]

Doug, sorry for the delayed reply... yes, that was me.
