Trouble with a Capital T? Not with New Choral Group & Band!
Cape Charles Band seeks additional players, both brass and woodwind.
CAPE CHARLES WAVE
February 6, 2013
Has the “Music Man” come to Cape Charles?
It might seem so, with the sudden formation not only of a choral group but also a band.
The vocal chorale group is being organized by Arts Enter, the fine and performing art center.
Men and women who love to sing, as well as young adults who are just starting to appreciate the world of music, are invited to participate.
The first meeting of the choral group is 6 p.m. Tuesday, February 12, at the Historic Palace Theatre.
The choral group will be directed by Shirley Christian, a voice professor and accomplished vocal performer who has retired to the Eastern Shore.
Meanwhile, here is what’s happening with the new Cape Charles Band:
The band has grown to 20 musicians, with organizers working to arrange rehearsal space, obtain sheet music, and locate equipment.
Organizers report that the first band meeting/rehearsal will be “very soon,” with an announcement coming later this week.
To date, players include trumpets, clarinets, saxophone, flutes, trombone, percussion, and tuba.
The band needs other woodwinds — oboe, bassoon, piccolo, and bass clarinet — as well as brass instruments including baritone, euphonium, etc. [Read more…]
