Text Box: From the musicians of what was the most famous concert band in the land. Site by Harris

Text Box: THE END Captain Kenneth R. Force President of the board of The Goldman Memorial Band and the rest of the board, have voted to end the band forever. This is mainly due to some hard facts. 1) They could Not deal with professionals on a professional level. 2) Their ineffectiveness in fund raising. 3) The boards mismanagement of funds that were to be used for Concerts. 4) Their lack of understanding of what the Goldman Band was or what the Goldman Band Is. (the most famous concert band in the land after Sousa). To them it was just another board they could put their names on. The board would have you believe that by dropping positions from the band, they would save vast sums of money. You be the judge. ( see below ) Good business sense would dictate not dropping positions but cutting some of the other overhead. The board wanted to lessen the quality of the band by 6 positions. Their excuse was that ” all the audience wants is two hours of happy music”. Base pay $136.00 3 hr rehearsal $ 90.00 10% welfare $ 26.00 One musician per concert and three hr. rehearsal $252.00 Concert with no rehearsal (a repeat performance) $ 149.60 Development Director $21,120.00 Business Manager $ 7,648.00 Publicity $10,000.00 Legal fees $30,000.00 News letter that dealt more with the life of the music director than fund raising. $10,000 If you would like to talk about the end, email goldmanband@verizon.net
