SKOWHEGAN – Les Tomlinson, Director of the Skowhegan Community Band, is
inviting all instrumentalists in the area to join the band. If you have played a few years ago or many
moons ago and you wish to make music again, join them for a rehearsal to watch
and listen or join. For the time being, rehearsals will be sight reading music,
old and new.The band has members ranging in age from 16 to 81 with a wide range of abilities, according to Tomlinson. “We have teachers, retirees, a veterinarian, a town manager, a barber and photographer to mention a few professions. The thing we have in common is a love of making music,” said the director. “Our members live in Skowhegan, Madison, Canaan, Cornville, Norridgewock, Solon, Vienna, Mercer, China, Pittsfield and Monson.”
The band performs all sorts of music from standard marches to new
arrangements and performs in concerts in nearby towns at various
functions. They do a Christmas concert,
a spring concert, Skowhegan Adult Ed graduation and perform at Coburn Park in
Skowhegan during their summer series of concerts.
They

Church on the Dr. Mann Road in Skowhegan.
