CVSM Community Symphonic Band
Memorial Day Concert
Monday, May 27, 2013 at 7:30PM
Band Shell at Chambersburg Memorial Municipal Park
FREE ADMISSION
The CVSM Community Symphonic Band will be performing its annual Memorial Day concert at 7:30PM on Monday, May 28, at the Memorial Band Shell at Chambersburg Memorial Municipal Park. Admission to the concert is free, although donations to Cumberland Valley School of Music, the local nonprofit community school of music that sponsors the band and concert, will be greatly appreciated.
The community band includes musicians from all walks of life, including many professional musicians and educators, who enjoy playing challenging concert band repertoire, which runs the gamut from classical music and concert marches to jazz and musical theater.
Under the skilled guidance of band conductor Tim Gotwald, this year’s Memorial Day program will be a diverse mixture of patriotic music and concert band repertoire. A special tribute to the U.S. armed services will honor each branch of military and the men and women who are serving, or have served, either in the United States or overseas.
CVSM welcomes new members to join the band for future performances. Musicians who can read and perform graded band music at Level III or IV (high school level) are invited to participate and there is no charge for playing or attending the concert. For more information call CVSM, (717) 261-1220.
The Cumberland Valley School of Music is a non-profit member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, with over 600 students and 55 faculty members from throughout the Cumberland Valley region. The school teaches lessons and classes on all orchestral and band instruments as well as voice, piano, and guitar, and offers a wide variety of programs and ensembles for students of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens, at locations in Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Mercersburg, and Hagerstown.
