Developing a Community Music Group
By Albert Asch
In September, 1968, the University of Wisconsin Washington
County Campus opened its doors to the first student
body. At 7:30 p.m. on Thursday of that first week the
first rehearsal of the Kettle Moraine Community Orchestra
was to begin. Everything had been done to attract community
musicians to the rehearsal: articles and pictures to
the paper; visits to musicians who were interested in
a community group who could help recruit; letters to
musicians in the community notifying them of the new
organization and requesting that they bring a friend
and finally letters, a newspaper article and posters
announcing the time and place for the first rehearsal
of the new community music group.
