Welcome to Westport Community Band

Hey Band - Have heard great things about the Levitt Pavilion concert! So sorry to have had to miss it. 
Hats off to those who did so much to make it a successful event:

• Sal, Susan and Lindsey for organizing all the music!
• Susan for schlepping percussion!
• Nan for boosting our visibility via web and Facebook!
• Lisa for taking care of uniforms!
• Patty for coordinating insurance!
• Ken and Bill for their awesome photo and videography!
• And to all of you who performed, attended, talked it up or were just there in spirit - well done!

If I left anyone off the list, the error is mine - lmk and I'll update. 
Next up: We're working on getting things lined up for the Fall!.Watch your email for updates and for our Annual Meeting Report (due to COVID, we'll just share EOY info and plans--and you can get back to us with any comments/questions.)Best, Marcia

Hey Band, 

Giving Day was a tremendous success - and we want to thank each and every one of you, whether you gave a little, a lot, or simply endured the onslaught of emails.There's still uncertainty about when and where we'll be able to reconvene, but two things are sure - 
1) We're looking forward to it (oh, are we ever)!
2) We're more financially secure in approaching that date today than we were two days ago.
Hang in there, be well, and don't forget to practice!
Best, 
The Board

Hello All... 

I want to take a moment today to say thank you... not only for a wonderful gift of appreciation (I received a very generous gift card yesterday from the members of the band) but also for allowing me to maintain a connection to a feeling of cultural relevance. The opportunity to bring icons in the world of music to your living rooms during our "Master Class Mondays" has been a balm to the open wound of musical stagnation. The sword has two edges however, as the joy of listening to and discussing some of the compositional gems that we have experienced also reminds us of the very inexplicable experience of not being able to be together...  I am hopeful that this bi-weekly band aid will prove to be only a void filler though and that as soon as practical (and possible) we will find ourselves back together, making the exploration and joy of creating music come alive while sitting side by side in a socially un-distanced way!!

Thank you again for being who you are and for allowing me the opportunity to redefine who I am, week to week...

Till we meet again, 

Sal

PS: Please place March 8th on your calendars! Composer Sam Hazo will be spending an hour with us that evening to share his compositional insight and musical artistry. I can't wait for you to meet him and hear his story! Please feel free to share the Zoom link when you receive it with anyone that you think would enjoy the hour!!!!

Since we will not have rehearsals for the rest of the year, dues are suspended for the fall semester. Additionally, all Board members have agreed to stay on for the 2020-2021 season.

if anyone is interested in producing a virtual music video for the WCB, please send us an email! 

Thanks all!

Marcia & Emily
