About the
Sharon Community Bands
The Sharon Community Concert Band and Roy Scott Big Band are comprised
of more than 50 talented amateur musicians not only from Sharon
and surrounding towns but throughout the greater Boston and South
Shore area communities. The bands perform a number of local concerts
throughout the year, and are celebrating their 15th anniversary
at this performance.
"I am very excited
about our 15th anniversary season" said David Kaminski, Music Director
for the Sharon Community Bands. "The dedication of this group to
creating quality music is personally rewarding, and the results
are enthusiastically received by our audiences. Sustaining a high
level of performance for 15 seasons is a milestone of which the
bands, as well as the community, should be proud".
The three formal
concerts which comprise the season series include:
- Winter
Concert (December 15, 2002) - The "serious" concert in the
series, featuring a diverse, challenging program highlighting
the range and capabilities of the bands.
- Kid's
Koncert (March 2, 2003) - A program of fun and familiar favorites
for kids of all ages, focused on sharing the group's love of music
with the next generation of musicians.
- Pops Concert
(May 4, 2003) - A wide range of popular standards and new compositions
delivers a crowd-pleasing, toe-tapping good time for all.
In addition
to the concert series, the bands also perform outdoors in the summer
at venues throughout southeastern Massachusetts.
Band membership
is open to all musicians willing to make a serious commitment to
rehearse and perform a challenging repertoire, with no formal audition
required to play.
Rehearsals are
held Thursday evenings, 7:15 pm at Sharon High School. For more
