After a two-year wait, The American Band was inducted into the Rhode Island Music Corridor of Fame at ceremonies on the College of Rhode Island Sunday, Might 15. At 185 years previous, the historic ensemble is the oldest regularly working brass band in the US.
The afternoon occasion “Connecting, Adapting, & Working Collectively to Construct a Sustainable Future,” was held at the side of the Notable Works’ Ensemble. The band was joined by friends together with composer Noreen Inglesi, native poets Nicole DiPaolo, David Dragone, & Mary Ann Mayer, and particular visitor Priscilla De La Cruz from the RI Audubon Society.
The Corridor of Fame will likely be inducting the remaining members of the Class of 2020, Nashville songwriter Joe Doyle, jazz saxophonist Scott Hamilton, and jazz trombonist and music educator Hal Criminal at occasions to be introduced within the coming months.
WUN photographer Rick Farrell was there Sunday and shares some photographs under.
