Forest Lake Area Community Band Age 15-Adult
The Forest Lake Area Community Band is open to all levels of musicians who play woodwind, brass or percussion and enjoy practicing and performing in a band! The band's purpose is to contribute positively to the musical environment of the Forest Lake area community. We will enjoy reading and playing a repertoire of varied styles ranging from traditional compositions for band to inspiring contemporary pieces. Under the direction of Jake Matheson, the band will perform at various venues (to be announced) in the community. No audition required. The Community Band meets most Thursdays throughout the school year.
