All -Girls' band trying to recruit with free music lessons Susan Hundertmark In an effort to rebuild the band - especially in the Seaforth area - the Seaforth and District All -Girls' Marching Band is offering free music lessons at Seaforth Public School. "We're going to go into this in a big way to get the band built up again and we want to get more people in Seaforth involved," says band leader Charlie Kalbfleisch. With 15 Seaforth-area girls already members of the 60 -mem- ber band, Kalbfleisch says he hopes to add at least 10 more Seaforth girls to the group. "That would make me very happy. It's really good when the band originated here to have more members from here," he says. So far, the band has been offer - attend since he has three or four more trum- pets that aren't being used. "We're finding that in Seaforth, kids aren't getting any opportunities to learn a musical instrument so it's easiest to start here from scratch with the younger kids," he �-� says, adding that neither Seaforth Public nor St. James School is offering instrumental music. He says the band needs to go to greater lengths to recruit members these days because "kids aren't as exuberant as they used to be." "We used to have to cut kids there were so many who wanted to be involved. Not everyone wants to participate these days and it is hard work to learn an instrument," he says. However, he adds that getting involved in music can be "a life- time experience." `We're going to go into this in a big way to get the band built up again and we want to get more people in Seaforth involved,' -- Charlie Kalbfleisch ing free trumpet lessons to 11 girls in Grades 6-8 on Wednesday nights from 6- 6:30 p.m. before the band's regular practice. Seven of the 11 are from Seaforth while two are from Brussels andtwo from Holmesville. Kalbfleisch says more girls are welcome to Kalbfleisch adds that playing rock and roll music is also a draw to the band. "The band really has a good time with that," he says. After March break, Kalbfleisch says free lessons will also begin for clarinet and saxo- phone.
