Fall greetings to our new and returning musicians and their families! We started our in person rehearsing last evening, with a small but solid and enthusiastic group of string players, a clarinet, and a trumpet!
Obviously we expect and strongly encourage young musicians to join us during the month of September! We rehearse (safely) at Trinity Lutheran Church 119 Texas Street, in the Grace Center, in Bellingham. It is a very fine facility for our needs. Our new musicians were very helpful and appreciated, and it was a great joy to see the return of some who have been with us during past seasons!!
This is a musical opportunity for young musicians in Whatcom County who are searching for more ways to increase their ensemble and technical skills. Many of our recent members have received college scholarships for their prowess in musical performance! ( they are currently studying or have graduated from WWU, UW, WSU, UPS, Whitworth, and more!)
email me at [email protected] if you want to join us, or know someone to recommend, who would benefit from this opportunity!
All the very best-
Sharyn Peterson, Director
