Teamwork made city band a success

To the Editor:

The Fairmont City Band has finished a successful 2024 season and that would not be possible without the assistance of many groups and individuals. We’d like to thank the City of Fairmont and the Parks Department for their financial support and help with the band shell and Sylvania Park, the Fairmont Area Schools Music Department for the use of their music and equipment, and the Maintenance Department for hauling items back and forth to the park, the Interlaken Heritage Days Committee for providing the concession stand, and those individuals that worked behind the scenes to set-up before and put equipment away after the concerts. We’d also like to thank our director, Bev Tenney, for the copious amount of work she does to make things run smoothly and help the band produce excellent music. We are especially thankful for the appreciative audiences and last but not least the 50 plus band members who shared their time and musical talents each week. We feel very fortunate to be able to perform in the Sylvania Park Band Shell and as repairs continue to be made, we look forward to enjoying this restored venue for years to come.
