Dear Band,
I am honored and excited to be the new director of the Believers Concert Band. I look forward to getting to know all of you better as we prepare and share music with the Gainesville community.

I want to thank the band for voting and the Executive Board for being willing to remain in place for the coming year (2018). They are President, Larry Preiss; Vice-President, Jill Momper; Secretary, Sandy Blankenship; Treasurer, Warren Almond. I look forward to working with them to guide the Believers Band for an awesome 2018. Also, the band voted to adopt the bylaws that are on the website’s Members Only page under the Music Library link.

Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your family this Christmas season,
David
