WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT RHAPSODY...
"This is my first experience hearing the Gaston Symphonic Band. I was expecting a few instruments, but certainly not a stage full of dynamic, talented musicians! The Band was amazing and our friend, Terry Van Zant was brilliant! Thank you, Maestro John Gunter, Terry and The Gaston Symphonic Band for a wonderful, uplifting performance of much-loved music. It may have been my first time to hear these amazing musicians, but hopefully, not my last!? - Teresa Williams
"Such a great concert and such a nice surprise to watch and hear". Milette Acton Oden.
"Thanks to the band for a wonderful evening". We loved it, too!" - Jane Smith
"If you weren't there, you really missed out on a fantastic treat! Quite and enjoyable evening... free, I might add! The Gaston Symphonic Band NEVER disappoints!" - Barbara Warlick
"These musicians are such a great asset to the community! We were graced with an evening of outstanding music in a beautiful venue. Many thanks to Marc Stout and Gaston Christian for sharing this space to allow such a great talent to be shared with the community." Richard Abernethy.
"Congrats, John! You guys brought your A game for this one!" - Jim Monroe
"The whole concert was amazing, thanks!" Susie Pons
"I was thrilled at hearing your Rhapsody in Blue performance, as I am with all of your numbers. Thank you." Peggy Gallen Tiddy
Happy Fourth of July. Here's a great pic showing GSB clarinetist Jim Coulson leading the 555th U. S. Air Force Band in a July 4th parade.
MEMORIAL DAY IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR THE GSB. FIRST WE HONOR THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOM. THEN WE CELEBRATE THAT FREEDOM WITH ONE ANOTHER.
