Bill Costin and Rob McLeod are the driving forces behind the Tintamarre Community Concert Band, formerly the Sackville Citizens Band, which regrouped this year and are back with their annual winter concert at Brunton Auditorium this Thursday, December 14, at 7:30pm.
“Everything we do is a celebration,” says McLeod, the band’s music director. “We get together we play something, we celebrate. The audience in the community comes together, we celebrate. And everybody walks around celebrating how unbelievably lucky we are to live here, and to have the ability to gather and play music in a safe environment, and just focus–for however long it is you can focus–on beauty and wonder.”
Costin and McLeod stopped by CHMA studios to talk about their upcoming concert and recent changes to the band, including their new name.
