Farmington Community Band Opens New Season
23 October 2007

	In common with many bands in the US, The Farmington Community Band (Damien Crutcher), which is based at the Harrison Hight Schol in Farmington Hills, does not rehearse or perform during the summer months. At the start of October the band, which boasts 80 members, started work toward its 42nd concert season. It already has a busy concert schedule with seasonal concerts for Halowe'en and Christmas as well as a spring concert. The band aims to present a variety of music to "reach out" to audiences of all ages. Speaking of the schedule, Jim Liska, the band's Vice President of Communications, told the Concert Band Portal, "New for 2007-2008 is a celebration of autumn with an outdoor concert at [the] historic Franklin Cider Mill, a musical tribute to America's heroes in Milford and an appearance at the Farmington Festival of the Arts. Returning this year are several FCB classics such as Spooktacular, and Postcards at the holiday season. Our annual spring concert features an energizing Overture Hit Parade, and the concert band will wrap up their regular season with musical kick off to summer at beautiful Heritage Park in July."
