POCATELLO — The first rehearsal for the Civic Concert Band will be on Tuesday, Jan. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the band room of the Idaho State University Fine Arts Building.

    The band will be conducted by Kevin York, the Associate Director of Bands at Idaho State University. It has been created to give people in the community an opportunity to perform in a concert band and to get the community involved in the university.

    The band is open to anyone who plays a wind or percussion instrument. Interested musicians should have at least a high school level proficiency in their instrument. No try-outs will be held, but the participants will need to be able to attend at least most of the weekly rehearsals and perform in the final concert. There is no fee to join.

    Rehearsals will be held each Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the band room in the Fine Arts building at ISU in Pocatello. Some of the larger instruments will be provided, but those who own their own are encouraged to bring it to rehearsal.

    A final performance will be held for the community at 7:30 p.m. on May 3 in the Jensen Grand Concert Hall of the Stephens Performing Arts Center.

        Anyone interested in participating should contact Kevin York at 282-2748 or yorkkevi@isu.edu
