The Bastrop Community Orchestra would like to thank our brave and indispensable Suzanne Smith for volunteering her conducting skills during our inception. We appreciate Ms. Smith very much and hope to work with her again soon.
The 2010 spring season is being conducted by Jeff Brister in collaboration with the orchestra. A concert schedule is in the works to help celebrate the 175th anniversary of First United Methodist Church.
The BCO is rehearsing for the second annual spring concert series. Members of the orchestra are citizens from Bastrop County and surrounding areas. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights from 7:45 to 9:15 p.m. in the Lumberyard Music Hall, 1109 Main St. in Bastrop.
The BCO has over 40 registered members, but there is plenty of room for growth. All positions are still available, but the string and percussion sections are especially in need of numbers.
The BCO is not for profit and anyone interested in more information about this group or in joining may call me at 303-2543 or the Bastrop Academy of Music at 321-PLAY.
Thank you Bastrop County for support as we continue to bring beautiful music to the locacl performance art experience.
