Meet the Band: Amy (Flutes)

 Amy - plays Flute, has been with us since 2010, and is currently band President.  She enjoys the community and fun atmosphere of the band. If she could play another instrument, she'd like to give the cello or oboe a try.

Interestingly, this is not her first time under the musical direction of our director Tim...back in 96' at the U of M, he was staff on the U Marching Band, and she a little ol' freshman flutist making her way through spat camp.

Meet the Band: Alex (Clarinet)


Alex  joined us back in 2015, plays Clarinet, and is an At-Large Board Member, and sometimes one of our sub conductors. He likes the wide variety of music we play, and in his spare time you may find him reading, running, and playing Chess or Computer Games. If he could, he'd play French Horn, and be an Astronaut provided he could learn not to get motion sick!

Alex is one of several Band Members from Michigan!

Meet the Band: Georgette (Saxophone)

Georgette - plays Alto Saxophone and is yet another new member who found us through a list of area community bands. She is retired from teaching, so she "enjoys doing whatever I want and don't keep track".   She also enjoys time with her grandchildren (2 who live down the street from Edison and 3 in beautiful Montana). She also tap dances (not in public), and would like to learn to play the drums. Otherwise, she is "a serious Vikings fanatic.''
