 BLOOMFIELD YOUTH BAND 41st SEASON
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I founded the Bloomfield Youth Band in 1986, when I was 17 years old, and just celebrated my 40 years as the director of this extraordinary group of young musicians. The band held its first rehearsal on August first of that year at the Glen Ridge Congregational Church in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The members of the group paid for the use of the facility and the music was borrowed from the Bloomfield High School Band Library.

<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The Youth Band's first public concert was held on May 8, 1987 at Bloomfield High School. By that time the youth band had become a member of the Bloomfield Federation of Music. The Federation relieved the burden of paying for a rehearsal site by providing it with the use of Bloomfield’s Civic Center at no charge. The Federation also secured performing venues for the band and paid for the printing of programs
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Today, the Bloomfield Youth Band has earned the reputation as an outstanding musical ensemble. Comprised of 50 high school and collegiate musicians, the band performs three public concerts each year in Bloomfield. At its Tenth Anniversary Concert in June 1996, the band was recognized by the Township of Bloomfield, the New Jersey General Assembly, and the United States House of Representatives for its civic and cultural contribution to the town and to the State of New Jersey.

<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We have brought in some of the finest composers of wind band music to work with the BYB over the years, including: Sam Hazo, Philip Sparke, Robert Sheldon, Mike Sweeney, Jared Spears, Jack Stamp, and William Owens.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The band’s mission, like the four other ensembles which comprise the Bloomfield Federation of Music, is to provide musical enjoyment for the residents of Bloomfield and neighboring communities. This is a task which the band takes very seriously and one which it strives very hard to meet.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 FACILITIES RENTAL AND INSURANCE INCREASES. Our two largest expenses annually are the rental of our rehearsal/performance space, and our insurance premiums. Our membership dues and ticket sales cover most of our other expenses, but these line items require a good deal of supplementary donations. This year, we are facing a greatly increased expenditures for these two line items.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We keep our membership dues very low ($80 annually per student) in order to encourage students from economically disadvantaged communities to participate, but we have a lot of bills and we need to make up the difference through ticket sales to our concerts and from donations from our generous supporters.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The Bloomfield Youth Band is a member organization of the Bloomfield Federation of Music, a registered non-profit organization (501-c-3) since 1943, so all donations are 100% tax-deductible.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are grateful for every dollar that we receive and 100% of what you donate goes directly to the band's operations. Have a listen to some of what we have done over the past four decades, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support!!
