We had a wonderful summer concert season, lots of good music, lots of fun, and of course lots of smiling faces in the audiences which is what it's all about. Lake Vista is always a favorite concert kicking off our summer series, and then we headed to Grace UMC where Lyle Thompson, our Band Manager, is the Music Director. Then it was on to Liberty Arms Assisted Living Center which was scheduled for outside, but it rained, so we rocked the big room and everyone loved the music. Viets House Strawberry Festival was a very enjoyable concert, Perfect weather and such a nice setting, then on to Howland Scope. Once again had to move inside for the Shepherd of the Valley concert in Niles, but had a nice evening outside at Marion Living Center in N. Lima the following week. Then we finished up the season at Park Vista in Youngstown, which wasn't the planned ending, but we got rained out for the Cortland Summer Sizzler. So all in all it was a very fun season, and now we're on hiatus until Sept. 13th, when we will once again start practicing at the Cortland Middle School, and now we'll be bringing out the Christmas music (yes, I said Christmas music) so we can be ready for the holiday concerts.

So here's the commercial spot! All area musicians are invited to come and join us any Wednesday night from 7 to 9 pm at the Cortland Middle School. Please feel free to come and listen or be really brave and bring your instrument and sit in with us for a great night of fun and fellowship. You're always welcome at the Cortland Community Band. We have members from high school age on up. Actually quite a ways up!

So please feel free to come and visit.

For more information please call Pat at 330-652-2424, or Bill & Janice at 330-395-1656. We'd love to see you.
