A Message from the Conductor


As this is written, we’ll be hitting the four-year mark in our short history. I’d characterize our coming of age not as growing pains, but rather growing progress.

In short, the band is doing very well, thank you. The sound of the band is maturing, while the pleasure of participating with a bunch of great folks continues unabated.

Some milestones in our development:

  • Third straight year of support from the city’s wonderful McKinney Arts Commission.
  • Invaluable support from the McKinney Independent School District.
  • Growth in the number of musicians and our ensemble sound.
  • Development of the McKinney Community Band Dance Band and the McKinney Community Band Flute Choir.
  • First ever Dance Band “Band Camp.”
  • Modernization of our library and its procedures with approximately 150 arrangements, some originals, plus several dozen pieces for Dance Band and Flutes.
  • Advance schedule of three 2010 concerts in the McKinney Performing Arts Center.
  • Numerous other concert appearances in the community.
  • Membership in Association of Concert Bands.
  • Continued Board of Directors development and further matching of talents with tasks.

What’s ahead? We still have openings in several sections, especially brass and percussion. I’m confident the instrumental musicians who find us will continue to fill our ranks.

It’s the most fun you can have for a dollar-a-week dues!


See you at the next concert!

Our next performance is an exciting second joint venture with the North Texas Chapter of the Association of Theatre Organists Society at the McKinney Performing Arts Center in historic downtown McKinney, Texas. Join us for THE LOW DOWN ON HIGH BROW on Saturday, September 18, 2010, at 7:30 p.m.
