Second-Wind Band & The Flashbacks

10th Anniversary Tribute

Westminster Canterbury, 4/27/04

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.
