Tonight, the band had an abbreviated rehearsal so that we could conduct the Annual Meeting of the Band. This important event allows the whole membership to hear about the current operations and status of the band. Tonight’s meeting emphasized the growth that the band has seen over the last year, in our membership, in our musicality, and even in our social interaction as we roll out additional “fun” activities for the members!

Of course, we also held our election of members to the Band’s Board of Directors! Congratulations to Frank Mesaros and Sharon Mesaros who were both reelected to a second 3-year term, and to Caitlin Sechrist who was elected to her first 3-year term. We also want to extend our thanks to our outgoing board member, Bradley Katz, who served two terms, including several years as our Treasurer.

As of tonight’s Board of Directors meeting, we would like to introduce our officers and board members for the 2026 season:
Andy Pickett - President
Jordan Birgensmith - Vice President
Caitlin Sechrist - Secretary
Frank Mesaros - Treasurer
Susanne Beidleman
Rebecca Wilcox
Sharon Mesaros

Thank you all for your service to the Keystone Concert Band!

Please reach out if you have any questions or want more information before showing up. Our next rehearsal will be on Wednesday, February 25 at St. Andrew's in the Valley Episcopal Church, Harrisburg, PA.
