Chuck
Swisher, left, & Sanford Feibus, right newly retired director and current
director of the the Band
With great regret, the Sequim
City Band announces the retirement of founder and director, Mr. Chuck
Swisher. Chuck started the Sequim City Band when he moved to the Olympic
Peninsula in 1992 after successful careers as first a professional musician
and later an educator with the Pullman Public Schools. Without Chuck’s
dedication to the Band, many musicians living on the Peninsula would not
have a place to expand their interest in music. Both the Sequim City Band
and the audiences will miss Chuck’s presence. He will now use his talents
to arrange music for the Band, and will be seen from time to time playing
the clarinet or saxophone.
The best news for 2008 is we have more new members!
The Sequim City Band welcomes the return of last years musicians and some
new members. The bands' additions this year includes two clarinets,
one trumpet, one alto sax, one tenor sax, and one French horn. Two of
our new members are high school students. Any age is welcome!
We could use a bassoonist and an oboist. Any
instrument is welcome! Come and play with us!
