“The Noank-Mystic Community Band provides an opportunity for adults to keep up their musical skills and explore a wide variety of music style. It provides students an opportunity to gain confidence and improve their skills by playing with adults. It provided an opportunity for senior citizens to keep active in music. The bands provide free concerts for a variety of groups and organizations, including but not limited to retirement homes, patriotic ceremonies, schools, festivals, and municipality events.”

“This grant was used to pay several of our conductors (independent contractors) of our different bands. Our concert band provided two free concerts to the general population. As Time Goes By, our swing band had had multiple free concerts. Our New Horizon Band has performed for several retirement homes. The musicians account for about 75 people and our combined concerts would have audiences that would total about 550 people.”

“Charter Oak Credit Union supports our Summer Sounds concert series. The Noank-Mystic Community Band provided weekly concerts at Mystic River Park featuring different local community bands.”

“Our swing band, As Time Goes By, sponsored a band benefit. The profit from this event was donated to two local high school music programs.”

“The Noank-Mystic Community Band has evolved since it was first formed in 1978. Originally the organization included the concert band only. Since then we also include a swing band (As Time Goes By), a New Horizon Band, multiple smaller ensembles, Summer Sounds Concert Series, and a Music Enrichment Program. To more accurately reflect our organization, we have a new constitution and by law document.”
