2010 Summer Youth Band June 24th, 2010

Categories: Around Palmer, Events, Palmer People, Seasons

This morning I drove into the Palmer Post Office parking lot and was pleased to discover a live concert by the Palmer Summer Youth Band.

The band is sponsored by the Palmer Arts Council and meets for weekly rehearsals throughout the summer. Middle and high school youth from Valley schools are under the direction of Matt Swalling, the music director at Palmer Junior Middle School.

The students played exceptionally well and I thoroughly enjoyed the music. I was told they are playing the next two Fridays at the downtown Friday Fling. Come out and listen!

    Thanks for the great comment about the Palmer Arts Council Youth Band. Our summer programs in theater, band, fine arts, and percussion are growing larger and better every summer. The band will be playing at the next several Friday Flings, at the Palmer Garden and Art Faire, Palmer Pride event, and one or two other things around town.

    Thanks.
    Bridgette Preston
    Palmer Arts Council President
