Canfield Community Concert Band

As we return to indoor rehearsals and performances for the fall of 2021, the coronavirus pandemic continues to pose a significant safety risk and a threat to our ability to continue making music together. For the safety of all members and our audiences, and to give us the best chance to continue rehearsing and performing together, we must take steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our group and in the community.

The Canfield Community Concert Band is seeking to fill the position of assistant director beginning immediately.

After 440 days apart due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we held our first rehearsal together on May 25, 2021 outside at Austintown Township Park. It was great to be back together making music again.

We will continue rehearsals in June at our regular location at Canfield High School and have scheduled some performances later in the summer, starting with our annual concert at Austintown Park on June 29. The complete schedule is available on our events page and it will be updated with any adjustments as they happen.

To the Members of CCCB:

Due to Covid-19, our scheduled concerts at area retirement homes have been canceled, as well as “Winds at the Winery” Community Band Festival. However, there is one concert on Tuesday, June 30, at Austintown Township Park that we, the Board members of CCCB, believe can be presented in a safe and entertaining manner. Safety is our first concern so it is impossible to have the entire band perform together on stage, and follow social distance guidelines. However, it is possible to have band members perform solos or small ensembles on stage safely.

If you would like to perform a solo, please let Alice know, by responding to the Remind text, by June 5th. If you are not on Remind, check in with your call chain volunteer to relay the message. If enough members volunteer, we will be able to present a showcase performance of everyone’s amazing talents. Musical selections can include hymn or folk tunes, pop and show tunes, light classic and patriotic. We will plan on having a keyboard accompanist available, as well as our sound system.

This is purely voluntary and as a band, we will follow all the safety guidelines in place. Hope to hear from you soon!
