Summer Band Concerts at the Fort Offered

Fairmont State University, in conjunction with Prickett's Fort State Park, is sponsoring its second "Concerts at the Fort" summer community band concert series during the months of May and June. Anyone who plays an instrument is welcome to join in the summer series.

At 7 p.m. on May 22 and 29 plus June 25 and 26, anyone who can play a band instrument can attend a rehearsal in Wallman Hall Room 229. On May 30 and June 27, the group will perform a 7 p.m. concert at the Prickett's Fort Amphitheatre. Community members who wish to participate should have a basic, junior-high level playing ability and their own instrument. Arrangements may be made to borrow large instruments. Attire will be casual but shorts are not permitted. Family members and the Fairmont community are welcome to attend the free concerts.

"We are looking for anyone who wants to perform for fun and people who enjoy playing fun band music," said Dr. Valarie Huffman, Director of Bands for FSU.
