Oct 17, 2009
Instrauments

Welcome, Concordia Band Alums! 
Homecoming 2009 marks the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Concordia Band and it would be GREAT to have you help celebrate that milestone!  We would be pleased to have you join the Alumni Band that will perform at the Homecoming Concert under the direction of current conductor Scott A. Jones, as well as former conductors Dr. J. Robert Hanson and Dr. Russell Pesola.  Although technically not alums yet, the current Concordia Band will be part of the group.  During the reception that follows the concert, we will also be celebrating the release of The Concordia Band's new CD!
Kent Loken, Associate Director, Manager of Instrumental Ensembles
