BARRE — Don’t miss the final and traditional Dixieland concert to be held on Sunday, Aug. 14, 6 p.m., at the Harding Allen bandstand in Barre. Former Quabbin Community Band Director Beth Bryant will be on hand to help us celebrate this long-established event.
Last week, the QCB board met to hire Margaret Reidy for the 2023 season. A unanimous vote of confidence for her no nonsense, highly professional while at the same time engaging and endearing style as conductor made the decision a “slam dunk,” as noted by first trumpet player Steve Aliquo. The many decades tradition of this strong community band seems in very excellent hands for the year ahead.
Looking to join us? Contact Julie Rawson, president, at julie@mhof.net or 978-257-1192. QCB takes all musicians, young and old, who like to challenge themselves and be part of a strong musical community.
