Band News:
Next Rehearsal Jan 11
2009 was a GREAT year, ending with some wonderful music and a happy audience of over 700 patrons at our Christmas Concert! Our first rehearsal in 2010 will be on January 11, so be sure to BE THERE!
CONGRATULATIONS John And Linda!!
John Frenz (Timpani) and Linda (nee) Grantham (clarinet) GOT MARRIED on March 23, 2009! we are all so very happy for them, and wish them many years of happiness and bounteous blessings.
New Members!
We are anticipating several new members in the band, and we welcome you all! Please make all efforts to attend every rehearsal, we need all the practice we can get.
We don't have a specific number of rehearsals that you must attend to play in the concert. This depends on your musical ability. If you can't make ALL the rehearsals before a concert, then check with your section leader about playing in the concert.
GET YOUR NAMETAGS: On a piece of paper, print your name as you want it to appear on your nametag, and your instrument. Give this paper along with $10 to cover the cost of the nametag, to Baxter Brown, band treasurer and third trombone player, near the drum section. He will order your nametag.
Concert Schedule Cards Prove Immensely Popular!
We will have NEW SEASON schedule cards available at our rehearsals. It seems the more we give out these Concert Schedule Cards, the more we seem to need! If you haven't seen them yet, they're a business-card sized concert schedule, super-easy to carry around and give away, and easy for people to keep handy. Several band members report "I've had people asking me for these!"
UPCOMING CONCERTS:
You can see the schedule for the concerts this year on our Concert Information Page.
MCSB Products On Sale:
We now have CDs available for most of our concerts. Please see Charles Daley (baritone horn) to purchase them.

The MCSB Is Available For Concerts
We are a continually looking for performance opportunities. We would be happy to play for any of our local communities (twelve cities and three counties), for a church, or for a consortium of private or commercial entities. If you are interested in having the MCSB perform, please contact a member of our Board of Directors.
We Are Growing! Even though the band is not yet four years old (our first concert was May 24, 2004), we have already had nearly 200 players sign up to play! Some of them can't make it right now because of their schedules, and some have already moved away, but we do have just under eighty regulars. What a great band we're building!
