Community Band in Northern NJ Seeking Members

[saddlerivervalleyconcertb]

The Saddle River Valley Concert Band has been in existence since 1972. We have about 15-20 concerts per year which include playing at town festivals, health care centers, graduations, tree-lightings, concert series, or just about any place where people will listen to us. The band consists of about 40 musicians. A few are music teachers and professional musicians but most of us are 9-5ers that do something else for our day job. We have an extensive music library of over 500 arrangements which include marches, show tunes, classical pieces and just about every concert band staple piece you can think of. We are an active band that enjoys playing music!

We welcome all ages and skill levels! We are seeking ALL woodwind, brass, and percussion players. But we have an extra special need at this time for oboe, bassoon, clarinet, and flute. There are no try outs so just come in, introduce yourself to our conductor Harley Streiff and grab a library folder to read off. If you're interested in becoming a member we'll make a folder for you in the weeks to follow. Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening from 8:00-10:00 at the Cavallini Middle School on West Saddle River RD in Upper Saddle River, NJ. Close to Route 17 and 287.

Hope this gives you enough info about the band and hopefully we'll see you there in the weeks to come.
