The Northwest Florida Community Band will present its inaugural concert on Tuesday, February 27, 2024 in the Chipley High School Auditorium.
The newly formed ensemble consists of musicians of all ages and walks of life, and hail from across the central panhandle, and numbers are at 40 this far.
Membership in the group formed just last month is open to musicians who play a wind or percussion instrument and have a shared life-long love of performing music.
The band rehearses on Tuesday evenings and plan to present 4 to 5 more concerts each year. The group is led by Music Director Richard L. Davenport, long-time local music educator and currently Assistant Professor of Music at the Baptist University of Florida.
Admission to the February concert is free, although donations will accepted for the band’s music library fund. The public is invited to join the premier performance by these local artists, and more info at nwflcb@gmail.com..
