9-17-21 Dublin Community Bands - A Treasured Cultural Asset

Dublin Community Bands - How we started, where we stand, and what we aspire to

Our featured guest speaker was Tim Jameson, Dublin Community Bands founder and board member, and the Dublin Silver Band director.  

The Dublin Cornet Band was founded in 1879 and remained active until 1929. This program was a precursor to the revival of the Dublin band tradition in 2010, whose initial focus was to form an elite performance group modeled after the British brass band. A British brass band is a musical ensemble comprising brass and percussion instruments. These groups perform a variety of traditional and contemporary repertoire and have a strong focus on competition.

Since its founding in 2010, the Dublin Community Band program has grown to include:

  • Dublin Silver Band: The Silver Band is a British brass band with 32 members who have competed nationally and internationally and is the current North American Brass Band reigning champion.
  • Dublin Wind Symphony:  The Wind Symphony is a concert band open to all to participate that typically performs 9-10 times per year to audiences ranging from 300-400 in size. 
  • Dublin City Swing Orchestra: The Swing Orchestra is a jazz band that performs 15-20 times per year at various indoor and outdoor venues.  

Their offerings for musicians have further expanded recently to include British brass band experiences for students - the Dublin Youth Brass Band and the general public - the Dublin Metro Brass Band.

Be sure to attend one of the performances of these exemplary groups soon. They are an important cultural asset for our community.

Congratulations to Lou Charobee and the Car Show Committee!
Best of Show - Mark Richmond with his 1967 VW Karmann Ghia
Show Chair - Lou Charobee with Best of Show Winner - Mark Richmond with his Blue 1967 VW Karmann Ghia
 
 
Congratulations on  a beautiful fundraising event, so fun and successful!
 
Lou, Lyn and a huge cast of volunteer members held our Dublin AM Car Show in historic Dublin with 103 cars, 6 Sponsors, 2 fun raffles for desirable local vendors, a State Bank Food truck, kid's games and lively music with a dancing Elvis. 
 
Current and former Rotary Presidents were in strong attendance and it was great to see John Williamson, Dwight Seeley, Ramona Penland Coyle, Kent Underwood, David Bentz and Mike Isler. We had at least half the club working registration, traffic management, canopy set up, tear down, boy scout flag and trash coordination, power and sound connections, raffle signs and cash managements and more. 
 
After a drizzly, wet start to the day, we slowly saw  the sun come out and an increasing set of beautiful vehicles arrive and register for consideration for 1 of the 30 Trophies.  Roberta Kayne captured hundreds of winning photos and smiling members and Kaitlyn Gushue captured some wonderful photos and videos!
 
Many members brought family, twin girls with leopard tennis shoes, sons with cars and patient spouses seeing it all. 
 
Lou will share more thanks and impressions, please send your congratulations to Chairman Lou and this club of terrific people.
 
Our next big effort will be chaired by Dave Williamson at the OSU/BMI Credit Union parking over 3 football dates in September.  See you all there and at next Friday's meeting.
