SANDWICH – Indian Valley Community Band introduces their new director, Jeff Ford. Replacing Dick Hart (who is still a part of IVCB but now plays his trombone), Ford has stepped up to conduct this multi-generational group of musicians. An accomplished saxophonist, Ford played at the band’s Spring Concert this past April so he is well acquainted with Indian Valley Community Band. He is owner of Jeff Ford Woodwind Repair, located in Oswego, and was the jazz band director at Waubonsee Community College for 29 years.
IVCB is looking for additional instruments to round out their group. Percussion, tuba, saxophone, trombone, horns of all types, low woodwinds, flute or clarinet. No matter what instrument you play IVCB has a spot for you. The band meets Monday evenings from 6-7:20 p.m. at the Sandwich Middle School band room, 600 S. Wells St.
New musicians and former band members from the surrounding area are always welcome. Stop in at any rehearsal to check out this all volunteer group that enjoys making music. You can follow this talented group on their Facebook page or call (815) 786-6752 for more information.
Indian Valley Community Band is currently rehearsing for a holiday concert to be performed at the historic Opera House in Sandwich on Sunday, Nov. 25, at 2 p.m.
