Low Brass Collective invites community players

Posted by Staff on March 17, 2023 - 5:30am

The NW Ohio Low Brass Collective is a new group open to all trombone, euphonium/baritone and tuba players. It will start as a community/high school group, but with the right numbers will split into two separate entities.

If you want to play but you don't have an instrument, we may have an instrument you can use. The group's purpose is to provide more opportunities for high school students and to provide a sense of community among all local low brass players. 

The conductor for The Low Brass Collective will be Dr. Sarah Waters, professor of music and conductor of the orchestra at Ohio Northern University. The March rehearsal will have guest conductor Tony Zilincik, professor of low brass at Capital University. He is also the coordinator and conductor of Columbus TubaChristmas.

On March 15th at approximately 1130pm Officers from the Bluffton Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle for a speeding violation.

The vehicle fled from officers and traveled northbound on Interstate 75. The fleeing vehicle crossed into the southbound lanes and drove through a ditch where it eventually stopped, and the occupants fled the vehicle.
