Staff

Conductor - (Damien Crutcher)

The conductor is the creative soul of any band. This involves going beyond picking out the music for the next concert and above the simple act of keeping time for the performers. The conductor brings the music to life, providing an interpretation that cannot be expressed on paper.

Business Manager - (Ginny McDonald)

Every season, the band's busy performance schedule includes a variety of public concerts, community outreach concerts, and appearances at special events. It's up to the business manager to handle requests for performances, as well as to organize the sponsorship necessary for the band to function.

Librarian - (Dale Bjorklund)

Keeping track of the sheet music for a large group is no small task. Parts have to be distributed or filed away, missing parts have to be ordered, and it all has to be ready before the rehearsals start.

Equipment Manager - (B. Gabriel Helou)

Somehow, chairs, music stands, and large instruments need to be set up wherever the band is rehearsing or performing. Sometimes, the band may need to find an anvil or siren for a particular piece of music. Whether it's moving a truckload of instruments or picking up a few "instruments" at the hardware store, the equipment manager manages to keep busy.


Emeritus Personae

Director Emeritus - (R. Paul Barber)

How does one thank someone who has given so much of his time to the creation of the FCB and the community at large? By making sure that one and all remember who he is and why he will always have a special place here.
