Seattle Times features the Around the Sound Band

Around the Sound Band at a Shoreline event 2014

Started as a Shorecrest senior project, the Around the Sound band is going stronger than ever after 20 years. Its 70 members rehearse weekly at the Music Center of the Northwest in Greenwood.

The band performs three formal concerts, plus summer concerts at venues, well, around the Sound. Its next concert will be at 2pm Saturday, July 6, at the Ballard Locks.

The Seattle Times has a lovely feature article on the band: Auditions (and perfection) are not required in the almost-family, pretty darn talented Around the Sound Community Band.
