AND THE BAND PLAYS ON


Julia is now in her 5th year in the Huntsville Community Band. She, along with a number of others, decided to take up a musical instrument later in life with little or no previous music training. She is no Moe Kaufmann, however although she is quick to deny it, she does manage to crank out a pretty mean tune. The group practices once a week and every now and then they are invited to perform in front of live audiences. Last Wednesday they made the trek to the Kiwanis Music Festival, an annual event taking place in Orillia, half way between us and Toronto. Each entry to the festival is adjudicated and low and behold they won GOLD!
