Dear band members and band fans:
It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of our longest-serving band member, Darwin “Rosie” Rosenthal. One of the great privileges of being the band’s director (itself a privilege) is the chance to get to know each of you over time. Rosie set a great example for all of us in terms of dependability, being on time and dedication to the band. I can say for certain that if Rosie missed a rehearsal or a concert it was because he was physically unable to make it or he needed to care for his wife. What a great band ethic he set for everyone. In the last year or two his sound got a bit fainter but his dedication never wavered. I’d like to challenge all the band members to work as hard and be as dedicated as Rosie.
Had he made it with us another season, it would have been his 75th year in the band. Nevertheless, there are few people who can lay claim to dedicating themselves to 74 years of anything.
Thanks, Rosie. We’re really going to miss you.
See you all next year!
The weather is going to be perfect! Grab the kids and bicycle over to City Hall to hear us!
Thanks for coming out to our concert! Band and audience members all had a great time. Special thanks to the surprise attendance by Santa. Click Here to see the photos!!
Tonight’s concert will be great fun with the theme, “Classics of Different Stripes.” We’ll perform a number of popular light classical works as well as some pop classics that you won’t want to miss. Come on out to downtown Staunton at the bandstand behind the Staunton Public Library. The concert is free, family friendly and lots of fun, especially with the homespun humor by our announcer, Jolly John Fassero. Members of the band are local people, good players and range in age from teens to octogenarians! Bring your lawn chairs or blankets and even a picnic if you like. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
Our Staunton concert series is jointly supported by the City of Staunton, First National Bank in Staunton and the Music Performance Trust Fund of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 88. We’d like to give a hearty thanks to all of our sponsors.
