Thank you to the people of St. Albert who have supported the St Albert Community Band during the time I conducted that wonderful ensemble.
Your presence in the audience has helped me perform my best. I have enjoyed sharing my love of music with you for the past 14 years. Thanks also to the St. Albert Gazette for the many articles published over the years. These pieces have increased the profile of the band, letting your readers find out about the cultural gem that is the St. Albert Community Band.
The staff and volunteers at the Arden Theatre have been very accommodating over the years. Your efforts have certainly been appreciated.
The elected officials of the community have been very helpful to our group of unpaid volunteers and amateur musicians. Without your help, many of our projects would not have been possible.
Last, but certainly not least, thank you to the members of the St. Albert Community Band for making the last 14 years the most rewarding of my career. It has been my honour to have been your conductor and friend. Congratulations to the St. Albert Community Band on the occasion of your 40th anniversary. I wish you continued success for the next 40.
Laurelie Nattress, Edmonton
