Husson University in Bangor formed its first pep band last year and is in need of players to continue to build the successful program as we enter our second year. We would like help from Maine music educators in identifying recent graduates and rising seniors who may be attending Husson or who live in the Bangor area and might like to play in a fun college/community group. Rehearsals on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. plus home games and other occasional events. If you know of folks who might be interested, please have them contact Dr. Cliff Guthrie, email: guthriec@husson.edu, or phone at 941-7760.
