A number of key positions in the FOCB organization will be opening up next year as seniors move on and take their parents with them. We urge parents and guardians whose students are remaining (especially freshmen and sophomores) to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to help steer the program to continued success. It takes a community to build a community!
Please attend the next FOCB meeting TONIGHT (Monday, Feb 10th) at 6:30pm in the band room to find out more information. Can’t make the meeting? Please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Jennifer Means at jennmeans@gmail.com for information about specific openings. You won’t regret it.
Under Gary Riler’s directorship, we have seen the Cleveland band program flourish in ways many of us couldn’t have imagined five years ago. From the revival of the marching band and its resplendent new uniforms to participation (not to mention awards) at festivals and events around the state, the Cleveland band program is a model for what community supported arts programs can be. But none of this would be possible without the tireless support of the greater band community under the guidance of the Friends of Cleveland Bands, who have pioneered so many ways to support our program and our musicians.
Thank you for your support.
