Program accomplishments
- Subscription Concert Series. A series of six concerts were given to the general public over the last 12 months. Over 1,000 people attended the concerts over the course of the year. The programs are chosen both to entertain and to educate the audience on the long tradition of British-style brass band playing.Expenses $9,639
