As a result of being a member of the Wadena Area Community Band for the 2024-25 concert season, the musicians who play in the group will improve or maintain their musical skills, be exposed to new, challenging music, and present concerts that will delight and engage the audience. At the end of the season, we will poll the members on how they grew in their skills and what they thought about the new music they learned. The music director will also evaluate our performances and how well the season went. Audience engagement will be evaluated based on their applause and the comments they offer after the concerts.
