Statement from the Board Chair The 2018-2019 is a transition year for the Manatee Community Concert Band, as our former conductor Randy T. Gilmore has moved on to other opportunities. We are excited to have excellent guest conductors this season and look forward to finding the right person to be our new musical leader. The band continues to improve in sound and performance and is gaining recognition as the area's premier community band. The band remains committed to keeping our concerts free to the public. We believe that good music should be available to everyone without having the concern of ticket prices. Keeping our performances accessible in this way requires focusing on fundraising. Efforts include active solicitation of donations from local businesses, charitable organizations, and audience members.
