OXFORD – The first of the Oxford Community Band’s Summer Concert Series begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in LaFayette Park.
The Band will be under the new direction ofJessica Freeman, an Oxford Alumnus, who was a guest conductor of band director Jason Place’s last summer. The group (of approximately twenty members, ranging in age from school students to senior citizens), will play moderate grade marches, show tunes, overtures and novelty selections for the enjoyment of the Oxford community.
The Band performs on six Thursday evenings on the parks in Oxford. Thursday concert dates are: July 6, 13, 20 and 27, Aug. 3 and 10. The first four July performances, held in LaFayette Park, are at 7:30 p.m. The last two concerts in August, one held at Washington Park and the other at the Oxford Historical Society’s Depot-Museum, are both at 7 p.m.
One new concert date has been tentatively added to the 2006 calendar: August 17, 7 p.m., at the New York State Veterans’ Home. Check the OxfordNY.com events calendar closer to the concert date or check with interim coordinators, Jane & Lew Ford.
All performances are free of charge.
The last of three rehearsals for the Oxford Community Band will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., in the Oxford Academy High School Band Room.
Tell all your musical friends to join this year – anyone who enjoys music is welcome! Last year, the band was made up of musicians from nine towns. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t played in 10 years, nor does it matter if you can make just one or only a few of the concerts, you’re still appreciated. The objective is to have fun making music with friends and to provide listeners with a pleasurable hour of music. There is a small stipend paid for each concert and practice attended, as in past years.
Visiting Oxford Band alumnae are encouraged to make themselves known to the group or bring an instrument and sit in.
Would you like to help with setting up chairs, music stands and drums? They pick up their equipment at the High School, about half an hour before performance time. If you’re available, your help would be appreciated.
