What this town really needs is a good concert band, stage band or almost almost any kind of musical musical aggregation where amateur instrumental musicians could get together. together. That's what I told myself myself almost every occasion occasion when I heard the trumpets, tubas, clarinets, bassoons and euphoniums strike a chord. It seemed to me a great pity that the amateur musicians from high school concert concert bands neverhad an opportunity to carry on their talents. . Sure, there are plenty of choirs around. And they do a fine job. Moreover, if you're a very, very good instrumental instrumental musician there are always groups in Toronto or Oshawa that could use your talents. It seemed to me that there wasn't much of an opportunity for those who have some musical experience but are by no means semi-professional semi-professional players. Until last year, I doubted that I would ever have a chance to play in a band again. But I'm pleased to say that elements of the old Orono Band are getting back together along with a few newcomers and the result could very well lead to the filling filling of a gap in the town's cultural life. That sounds pretentious, pretentious, of course, because amateur musicians play for their own amusement -and any cultural benefits are purely accidental! For me, it's been no easy task keeping up with this group. As a high school musician, I had played the euphonium. (That's a brass instrument which looks like a small tuba, sounds somewhat like a trombone and is an endangered endangered species in almost almost all music except material written for concert or military bands.) Needless to say, finding finding a euphonium appeared appeared to be an impossible impossible task so I ended up renting a trombone and adapting myself to the intricacies of the trombone trombone slide. Then it was time to get the chops back into condition after a holiday holiday of over 10 years. Luckily, playing a brass instrument is something something like riding a bicycle bicycle in that you never completely forget how the task is accomplished. accomplished. In addition learning a foreign instrument, there's also the formidable formidable task of keeping up with the rest of the people in the band. Some of them have been playing their instruments instruments since before I was born, although I'll try to soothe their egos by adding that I'm still a very young man. To date, we've been playing mainly jazz and pop music because our instrumentation of brass and reeds lends itself mostly to that kind of arrangement. It's hard to predict what will become of the group in the future, but I for one, hope it's the beginning of a longterm longterm project. To me, the past six or seven months of practice practice have been well worthwhile. We are no longer a community without a band. And that's a step in the right direction.
