<\/a><\/p>\nHarper and the musicians look forward to performing this light-hearted, nostalgic concert as a celebration of the band\u2019s energy packed, successful 2017 season. \u201cIt has been a joy, as always, and an honor to play at the various venues around Calaveras County,\u201d says Harper. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to performing this concert of uplifting and thoughtful music. In many ways it is a tribute to the good people of Calaveras County.\u201d <\/p>\n
Everyone, young and old, is encouraged to be in attendance. There is no admission charge for the performance, but there will be an opportunity for concertgoers to make a donation to help support this unique Motherlode treasure. <\/p>\n
Harper cautions the day of the concert will mark the end of Daylight Savings Time so people should check their clocks. \u201cWe would hate to have you miss the chance to enjoy this musical journey,\u201d says Harper.
\nThe Calaveras Community Band traces it history to the days following the Gold Rush. Men would brush away the grime of the mines, put on a uniform, take up their musical instruments and entertain the crowds at many public functions. Creating music brought extra meaning to their lives and provided a counterpoint to the stresses of the day.<\/p>\n
In those times they were known as the Angels Camp Miners Band, the Murphys Independent Cornet Band, or by a dozen other names.<\/p>\n
Today the Calaveras Community Band carries on this honored tradition. The age range has been expanded. Women are now welcomed and respected. The military uniforms have been put aside. But the spirit remains the same \u2013 people who love to play music performing for those who enjoy listening. And together they create a relaxing and enriching environment. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u00a0greatly appreciate the enthusiastic audiences\u00a0who attended our concerts\u00a0this summer in Murphys Community Park and other venues\u201d says Harper.\u00a0\u201cThe musicians had a wonderful time playing\u00a0jazz, swing, and summertime favorites. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to thank the Murphys Community Club\u00a0for allowing us to spend our summers rehearsing and playing music in Murphys Park and the Bret Harte School District for letting us use its beautiful auditorium for our concert. We continue to look for new musicians to join us. All wind instruments and skill levels are welcome. If you have an instrument you no longer use, please donate it to the band so we can put it in the hands of student\u00a0musicians who will bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
