EAAers to strike up the band
Wednesday night
EAA AirVenture’s
first-ever concert band, under the direction of director Elton L. Eisele,
will perform on Wednesday, July 25, to open that evening’s program at Theater
in the Woods. Eisele put out the call this past spring for musician
members to sign up and play at AirVenture and soon discovered that
EAAers are a talented lot.
Those who signed up will
gather for a rehearsal session at the Nature Center at 8 a.m. on Tuesday
and Wednesday, where they’ll go through (among other numbers)
"The Experimental Aviators March," a composition by EAA member
Bob Diven. The homebuilder/composer wrote the piece expressly for the
EAA Concert Band, Eisele said.
"The march has had
its first rough rehearsal reading by this local concert band, and it
will be part of their new season in the fall," Eisle said.
"But of course it would be most appropriate and fun to premiere the
piece this year at Oshkosh."
The band is slated to
begin playing at 7:30 p.m. |
