Welcome to Westport Community Band

Master Classes: Nov 23 and Dec 7 - Mark your calendars!

Hello All!!
We have 2 confirmed Master Classes on the calendar. 
On November 23rd The Westport Community Band's Master Class Series will feature the nationally celebrated composer, Jack Stamp (Pastime, Star Spangled Banner). Jack is an amazing composer, arranger, historian, advocate, and most importantly educator and is truly thrilled to have the opportunity to meet with us and discuss his music, his view on what is important in our musical lives, and how he has spent his life as a force on the American musical scene. And if that wasn't enough, Jack is quite a character and I can't wait for you to meet him!
And on Monday, December 7th we will be joined by local bassist and band leader, musical impresario, and historian.. Roger Kaufman. For those of you whose musical lives have been enhanced by Roger he needs no introduction. Roger's rich musical connections to the musical scene know no borders and his influence and interests travel from Motown to Jazz to Ragtime seamlessly and absent of any barriers. He is truly a local legend and is excited at the chance to share his love and interests with all. 
There are other exciting guests lined up for later in December and January as well, so keep your ears and eyes open!! In addition to our outside guests I have begun to take names of the folks within the WCB that may be interested in performing for us in an upcoming Monday session as well! If you are interested in learning more about this performance project please send me an email! I am looking at presenting this "WCB Performance Master Class" later in January, so there is plenty of time to prepare to play for us! Any combination of instruments or soloists will be accepted! Think about it!! Hey, you needed an excuse to practice, right?
See you on the 23rd!  Feel free to share any of the links that you receive with anyone that you think may be interested in these Master Classes!! But first and foremost let's shoot for a huge audience for Jack and Roger!!
All Best,Sal

Hope you all are well and staying healthy! See below for WCB news - please read it all:

1. Regretfully due to the pandemic, there will be no rehearsals or gigs for the fall semester. We will continue to meet through our Zoom Masterclass series and will notify you before each session. The next class will be on Monday, September 21st, 7:30 PM.  Please hold the date and watch your email for an invite. More details to follow! 

2. 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.

3.  Music: Please return your WCB music and folder by September 21st. You may drop off your music at any of the below addresses, or instead mail directly to Sal. If you choose to drop off your music in person, please practice socially distant guidelines (masks/distance) and we do ask that you text before you visit to confirm timing.

PLEASE check your email for where to return your music, either by mail or in-person. 

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