Back To Front Page

The South Shore Brass Band, a professional musical organization and long-time performing ensemble in the Duneland region, is presenting a Spring Concert on Sunday, April 26, at 3 p.m. in the Chesterton Middle School Auditorium. This performance, aligning with the group’s educational outreach goals, will feature many members of the Chesterton High School Band.

“Bringing live, professional music to our schools is as important as ever,” said CMS Band Director Vince Arizzi.

“In a time when students can hear anything they want on YouTube, the energy and excitement of live music is forgotten, I think.” Arizzi performs in the band, as does Liberty Intermediate School music teacher Julie Plant.

The rest of the 30-piece brass band is composed of current and retired music teachers, as well as other professional musicians from northwest Indiana.

For the past decade, the South Shore Brass Band has seen performing at the gazebo in downtown Chesterton as well as the Coffee Creek Amphitheater.

The CHS students involved are Amera Abuhakmeh, Allison Henry, Nathan Poczekay, Christopher Sexton, Payton Stobbe, Cameron Tassler, Madison Comfort, Violet Needham, Spencer Ostrega, Nolan Poczekay, James Bonnema, III, Anthony Langley, Andrew Figg, Harley Wines, Riley Franklin, Jonathan Jones and Kylie Sabol.

The music selected for the concert is traditional British-style brass band literature, such as classical transcriptions, exciting marches, and will include some newer music that should appeal to a wide audience range.

The concert will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday in the newly renovated CMS Auditorium.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $6 for students.
