Second-Wind Band & The Flashbacks
Second-Wind Band
The band has 60+ members playing programs much like those
of the typical municipal bands of the past 50 years--marches, musical
comedy, ballads and so on. Some players had not played since high
school, and some had never played before. We blend our increasing
abilities to play for the community and have fun in the process. Our
rehersals are on most Tuesdays form 10:45 to 12:45 p.m. Check the
schedule on the link below.
Sunday, May 4th, 3:00-5:00 p.m.Our Second Wind Band will celebrate spring with a varied program of musical delights! Tickets $8.00 for members or $12.00 for non members. |
The Flashbacks Swing Band
This is a dance band of about twenty members that plays music
from the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, and even ‘50s and ‘60s. In addition to
performing at community-wide events like First Night Virginia and the
Virginia Festival of the Book, at area retirement residences, and for
some dances at the Senior Center, the band is available for private
events. Visitors are welcome at our rehearsals on Fridays from 10:45
a.m.-12:45 p.m.
We are associated with a national group, the New
Horizons Bands. Senior bands were first started by Roy
Ernst, a music educator from Rochester, New York. After
ten years of existence, this enthusiastic group numbers
over one hundred bands.
