Closet classical musicians in the South Cariboo have the Adult Community Concert Band to help keep their music alive.
Director Jack Felner uses a lifetime of experience as a musician and teacher to keep his 15-member band in tune. They practise weekly, each Thursday night at the Christ the King Lutheran Church from September through June.
Aside from a performance during the Christmas season at Fischer Place and a large concert that they host at the end of their season in June, the band members focus on practising and enjoying the camaraderie that comes with playing with a group of like-minded people.
The band is always looking for new members, and as Felner says, "All you have to do is have an instrument, and we'll do the rest."
