Festival Ensemble

The Festival Ensemble includes players of the trumpet (Bill Conkright, Don Nolan), saxophone (Anita Hanson, Ray Wissolik), clarinet (Bud Haas, Kathy Reid), bassoon (Jane Allen), violin (Karen Kuykendall) and flute (Natalie Ambrose). Those who play instruments are invited to meet with the group.

Gayle Stepp organizes the group for rehearsals and arrangements. Usually the group plays the prelude the first Sunday of the month during the months of October through June before the 10:55 service, often a medley of favorite hymns.

Rehearsals are on designated Mondays at 9:15.
