Great job, CCBers! The Jackson County Fair always is one of our best crowds, and it didn’t disappoint. It was a wonderful finale to another season of great performances.
Enjoy your month off, and we’ll see you when rehearsals resume Aug. 30. Same time, same station.

It’s with great sadness I bring you news of the passing of a true Columbus City Band legend. John Marshall, a 68-year CCB member, passed away Friday evening. He was 83.

John Marshall joined CCB when he was 15 years old.
[Updated 7/11] The showing is 4-7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday 9 a.m. until the service — all at Myers-Reed Dignity Memorial Chapel, 3729 E. 25th St., Columbus. It’s one street west of Taylor Road.

Reminder:
We do have rehearsal tonight. It’s the last one before the Bartholomew County Fair concert. So be there for practice as well as to pick up your parking pass for next Monday’s gig.
And another thing:
If you need a band polo for these summer concerts, or you just love the bold fashion statement they make and need one to wear everywhere you go, send your shirt size and how many shirts you just have to have to Ted at theodoresharpe@yahoo.com. They cost a little over $20.

Style tip: Friends don't let friends pop their collar up.
