Carlisle Town Band

Since today is Monday, I think that we should be having band rehearsal tonight - Nice thoughts, but it's not happening! Here are a few photos from our band rehearsal in the Band Hall with Dave Rohrer conducting. Who can guess the year these were taken and for which concert? Hopefully all of our band members are staying healthy & practicing! We have a tendency to take things like gathering to make music for granted. Who would have ever thought that we would have to postpone our music making? Hopefully, we'll gather again in the not too distant future!

One year ago, on March 9th, our band had its last full rehearsal in preparation for our Spring Concert - Unfortunately, all of our concerts from last year were cancelled. We have also cancelled our Spring Concert & Grand Sousa Concert for this year. We are having small, sectional rehearsals, but we can't put the full band in our rehearsal room due to Covid distancing restrictions. We look forward to the day when we can perform for our wonderful public supporters! Here are some reminders of normal rehearsal days in the distant past!

Congratulations to our band president Jim Shufelt for being selected as our next featured band member in our "Musician's Corner", located on our web site: http://www.carlisleband.org/ Be sure to read his bio for his very interesting story!

Our saxophone ensemble performed on Sunday - yes - there is still live music in Carlisle!

One year ago today the Carlisle Town Band held it's annual Holiday Concert at the U.S. Army Education & Heritage Center. Little did we know that it would be our last performance together for a very long time! Hopefully we will be able to rehearse & perform in 2021. This year has hit us hard along with everyone else! Here are some photos from our last concert:

We're back! Band Director Dave Rohrer directs some of our woodwind section earlier this week, observing social distancing & special modifications to the instruments. Our band members are eager to get back to normal rehearsals & concerts, but at least we're keeping the music happening as best we can!
