Missoula City Band program features guest soloists, KUFM seeks extras and band fundraising
Bill Rhodes, the concert announcer for the Missoula City Band, introduced a program that included guest soloists and several community announcements, including a KUFM television appeal for extras and a voluntary collection to support the band.

The concert featured violinist Annalise Eiking Taylor and clarinetist Ally Beatty as guest soloists. Taylor, introduced by Rhodes as originally from the Netherlands and principal violinist with the Butte and Helena symphonies, dedicated her performance to the memory of her mother-in-law, Mary Taylor. Rhodes introduced Ally Beatty as a recent Sentinel High School graduate who plans to attend the University of Montana to study clarinet performance and vocal music education.

The program included works by local favorite George Rosencrantz, as well as pieces by Javier Tejedor, Gabriel Perez, Eric Leiden and Russell Alexander. Rhodes described Rosencrantz as a longtime audience favorite in Missoula and identified one piece as unpublished and likely written in the 1940s.

Rhodes announced that a KUFM television crew was filming a documentary about a 1904 basketball team and asked audience members to volunteer as extras. "Here's a chance to be part of [a] television documentary being filmed right here in Missoula," Rhodes said, adding that costumes and dinner would be provided and that interested people should contact KUFM staff members with flyers.

Rhodes also said band members would circulate a voluntary contribution basket during the performance. "Your generosity and support of our organization is always outstanding. A contribution is always strictly voluntary," he said.

Other onstage acknowledgments included a dedication of a march to members of Job Service who were in the audience and a onetime pairing of cellist Ken Grant assisting Taylor with preparations. The program closed with a performance highlighting the trombone section and closing remarks from Rhodes thanking the guest artists.

No formal actions, votes or legal matters were discussed during the concert announcements.
