Clintonville Community Band 8/12

We performed at Wesley Glen Retirement Community, just north of Graceland Shopping Center, Columbus. It went quite well. Dr. Paul Droste, a retired professor of music and marching band director at Ohio State, sat in with us taking the Euphonium solo in the Holst Second Suite for Military Band. He also took the baton and conducted two pieces. Needless to say, he is quite a musician whether playing or conducting and it was a wonderful experience to rehearse and perform with him. Dr. Richard Burkart, another retired OSU professor of music and the father of our regular conductor Rick, sat in with us as well on Trumpet. He has performed with us before, as conductor and as soloist, and it is always a pleasure. The Wesley Glen residents have always been good audiences and I look forward to performing here again.
