Customer Testimonials
- "I was unable to join the newly formed The Emerald Coast Community Band (formerly Emerald Coast The Emerald Coast Community Band) band in the spring due to a medical condition, but was able to start when they resumed in the fall. I never had the opportunity of learning music during my school years and didn't start until I was in my 40's. Like most, I hadn't played for years, but one day my wife and I were driving through town when I spotted a trumpet at a garage sale. It looked like the kid selling it had used it to pound nails, but I bought it for five bucks. It did play. I took it to the first session in September, played and then stopped at the music store on the way home to buy a much better horn. I can't begin to express how I look forward to each meeting of the band - it makes my week. We have our first concert in December and everyone is working hard to make it a resounding success. Long live the The Emerald Coast Community Band (formerly Emerald Coast The Emerald Coast Community Band) Bands!!"--J. D. Woods
