The Longmont Colorado Big Band and Jr. Big Band

Dave Rice, longtime professional LA musician, is in the process of
developing new and exciting year-round music opportunities for musicians
and student musicians. He is creating two big bands in Longmont.  One
band is for adults and the other for young people.   They are the
Longmont Big Band and the Longmont Jr. Big Band. The bands will help
increase the number of available summer activities for the  arts and for

music education in Longmont, especially for young people.

The Longmont Big Band is for more accomplished musicians. This Band will
focus on community concerts, occasional dances, and special events.
Musicians  will play special big band arrangements for show tunes,
concert and dance music, and big band favorites and big band jazz.  The
Band will work to support the efforts of other Longmont arts and civic
minded and community groups.

The Longmont Junior Big Band is for young people from High School age up
to age 20.  This band will focus on music education, discipline, and
community service though music.  We plan to work hard and to have lots
of fun along the way.  Like the adult band, it too will work to support
the efforts of other Longmont arts and civic minded and community
groups.

If you are interested in playing with or helping the Longmont Big Band
or the Longmont Jr. Big Band, please call Dave Rice at (303) 678-8292 or
E-mail at daverice@concentric.net.  We want to try to find a place for
anyone who wants to play or wants to help.  Musicians and student
musicians will be notified of rehearsal dates and times.

We want to help you with your Boulder County/Longmont community event if
at all possible. Contact Dave Rice for more information.

If you, your company or your club are interested in helping, we are in
need of music stands and lights, any used musical instruments, folding
chairs, P.A. sound system, repair or replacement of our very old copy
machine, lockable utility trailer for band instruments and equipment.
