Fort Atkinson Community Band Director Wayne Crook has noted in a recent news release that “a few more members in various sections would round out the balance on parts, and make for a real nice community band.”

Within his release, Crook noted that band rehearsals are underway, occurring on a weekly basis, in preparation of this, the 64th, summer season.

Band membership remains open to “area musicians who would enjoy performing in a concert band,” the director stated.

Musicians who play a band instrument are welcome, with the band particularly seeking clarinetists, the release read.

Membership is open to both adult and student musicians, the release continued.
