Woodland Community Band

The Woodland Community Band will play a free symphonic concert tonight (Thursday, March 27) at the Pioneer High School Theater at 7 p.m.

The WCB plays music by Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Kalinnikov, Saint-Saens, and Mozart.

The band is under the direction of Bobby Rogers, Music Director at Pioneer High School. In a Daily Democrat article (click the title of this story to access) Rogers said, "With weekly rehearsals and a full concert schedule, the band has advanced so much as an ensemble that we are ready to tackle pieces played by college and professional levels of orchestras and concert bands."

WCB band members include a broad age group including middle school students to retired residents and musicians from Davis, Woodland, Dixon, Winters, Esparto, Yuba City and Sacramento.

Rogers invites others to join in. They practice on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Pioneer High School Band room. Call Rogers at 406-1148, ext. 4523, for more information.
