THE BAND STAND,' APRH.l991
Some of you will remember that last issue we mused on the
place of concert bands in 'our nusicallives, and wondered out
loud if there was enough interest out there for us to make. a
''concert band page" a pennanent niche in this p~blication.
wen here's a sf4rt. .
Eight flute-players in sea.rch of a band.
The new Festival Winq Orchestra is up and running, members
wrote, with an adequate and still growing Complement of
musicians. The band rehearses Tuesday nights at 7:30 at
Newtonbrooke Secondary School and could still lise some new ·
members. Since the initiators of the project were eight fluteplayers
and a conductor, it sounds as if "flutists/flautists ne·ed .
not apply". Interested? Phone Shelley at 416-491-1683 .
April 20 at Etobicoke Collegiate the Etobicoke Community
Concert Band joins forces with an interesting group, the
G.T.A Teachers Wind Ensemble, whose players are or have
all been instrumental music teachers!
The great thing about this group is that it is a wind
ensemble, not a band -- only one instrument to a part, which
translates, in miniature, into the clean, crisp sound. you get
·only with the· very best bands. · ·
The conductor is Bobby Herriott, well known conductor
· · and trumpet player. Among his players are John Liddle,
conductor of the Etobicoke Co~munity Concert Band, Gino
Falconi, conductor of th~ Royal Regiment Band and music
co-ordinator of the Toronto Board of Education and Paul
Miner, president of the Canadian Band Association, Ontario
Chapter. Come and hear new and exciting band repertoire at
its best!
