THERE WAS A NICE TURN-OUT LAST NIGHT FOR THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB
33RD ANNUAL ICE CREAM SOCIAL AND BAND CONCERT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS IN
MAQUOKETA. MOST BROUGHT THEIR LAWN CHAIR AND LISTENED TO THE
MUSIC OF TIMBER CITY BAND, DIRECTED BY JAY KAHN. THE MUSIC CAME AFTER CAKE AND ICE CREAM WAS SERVED AT NEARBY BOYER HALL. FOUNDED AS THE
AUSTIN AVENUE BAND IN 1973 BY MAQUOKETA TEACHERS EDD AND JUDY SCHEER, THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO TIMBER CITY BAND IN 1986. LAST NIGHT, THEY DID OVER A DOZEN NUMBERS FROM "I GOT RHYTHM" TO "A DAY AT DISNEYLAND".
ALSO, AN OVERTURE TO "THE MAGIC FLUTE" WITH GUEST DIRECTOR BRIAN HUGHES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. I ALSO LIKED "THE HAPPY WANDERER" AND "A WALK IN THE BLACK FOREST". THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY THANKS THE BAND FOR THE GREAT MUSIC AND THE SENIORS WHO ATTENED THE FUN EVENING.
