BAND IN ITS 29TH SEASON   The Lakeland Concert Band is in its 29th season this year. We hold rehearsals on Monday evenings at the Lake Mirror Center Auditorium from 7:00PM until 9:00PM, beginning on September 10th, 2007. If you read music, and play an instrument, we want you! We know there are many capable musicians in our community and areas who are not in the band. No auditions are necessary. While we provide some musical challenges, the band is a great place for relaxation and fun. We work hard, socialize, and have a good time together.  Make new friends and offer your talent to the community! All interested musicians, come join us!   Please  call Susan Johns at  863-660-8428 or email  at  lakelandconcertband@yahoo.com
