Community Band Outreach Program Launched by Elgin’s Abbott Middle School
By: Kara McGrenera, Triblocal reporter 10/09/09 05:47 PM
Abbott Middle School is starting a new program to engage community members in a timeless tradition. The Community Band Outreach Program (CBOP) will have an introductory meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9 in the band room of Abbott Middle School, 949 Van Street in Elgin.
The CBOP program is to engage and encourage musicians of all ages to join a community band and to convey the importance of music in our society. Every instrumentalist from middle school to retired is welcome to join the band and play together as one community ensemble.
The ensemble will meet once a week to rehearse and read through traditional as well as contemporary literature of all genres. For more information please contact Mr. Frank Cook at Abbott Middle School by phone 847-888-5160 or through email, frankcook@u-46.org, for more information.
The Mission of the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra is to create a community of young musicians,
enriching their lives and those of their families, schools, communities and beyond,
through the study and performance of excellent music.
