various career fields and walks of life. Some of the band members are professional
musicians, while other have recently picked up the instruments they played years ago
in high school," said Jivka Jeleva, director of the Community Music School. "They
come together under the direction of Dr. Jerry Voorhees, who has been the bassoon
professor at Southeastern for many years. The Northlake Community Band is a valuable
asset to our community's music life."
Jeleva said the Northlake Community Band is always welcoming new members. For
