DIXIELAND BAND
Wednesday,
October 22, 2008

Not just another band, the music performed by the Barbary Coast
Dixieland Band is sensational. But
there is more! The band
punctuates each concert with whim, wit and zany comedy.
Incredible vocals and a variety of special numbers are the
seasoning to a well-blended performance.
Since 1967, the Barbary Coast Dixieland Band has set thousands of
toes tapping at major night clubs, the Minnesota State Fair, Ordway
Theatre, and over the airways of WCCO Radio.
Barbary Coast
has
taken its jazz message far and wide- from
Mississippi
paddlewheel boats to
Japan
.

Warren Civic Music Association
This organization has the distinct honor of being the
oldest community arts organization in Trumbull County. It was incorporated
in 1937 as the Warren Concert Organization. After three years of "hard
times", it reorganized in 1940 as Warren Civic Music Association. Judge
Dewey McVicker was the first president and Robert Balson is the
current president.
The Association's Board of Directors is composed of all
volunteers, who guide the operation of the
organization. The first officers serving with Judge McVicker were vice
presidents: Mrs. Griswold Hulbert, Mr. W.B. Klee, Jr., Mr. Thorn Pendelton,
Mrs. Ralph Kroehle, Mrs. Theodore Long, The Rev. Mr. Robert Fay, Att'y.
Lewis Guarnieri, Miss Louise Finney, Mrs. David Paige, and Mr. Otto A.
Lovett. Mrs. Thomas Gannan served as secretary and Mr. W. Howard Fram as
treasurer. Dana School Of Music, originally located in Warren, left its
influence on Warren Civic Music with a legacy of musically oriented
volunteers and appreciative audiences.
The home of Warren Civic Music was Konold Auditorium
located at Warren G. Harding High School. Since the 1955-1956 season
Packard Music Hall has been our venue. During the past 66 years, the
Association has always been proud to continue its long tradition of
presenting high quality diversified programs ranging from symphonies,
operas, dance troupes and Broadway musicals to individual artists such as
Roberta Peters, John Browning, Roger Williams, Isaac Stern and Anna Marie
Alberghetti. In addition to the above mentioned individuals, many renowned
artists/groups such as Folklorica de Mexico, Canadian Brass, Ferrante and
Teicher, Robert Page Singers, Phil Dirt and the Dozers, River City Brass
Band, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, and the Ohio State
University Marching Band have provided entertainment for the audiences.
In May of each year a subscription drive is held for
renewals and for new subscribers. Single admission tickets are also sold
for each performance. Seating is not reserved, allowing the audience a
choice for each performance.
Over the years, the Association has been proud to
present diversified programs at a very reasonable price. |
