TUSK and Community Choir and Band
TUSK on the Floating Stage
LOCK HAVEN – TUSK will perform this Sunday on the Floating Stage as part of the Lock Haven Summer Concert Series. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m.
TUSK covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The Fleetwood Mac story is an episodic saga that spans more than 30 years. It is the saga of a British blues band formed in 1967 that became a California-based pop group in the mid-Seventies. In between came a period where Fleetwood Mac shuffled personnel and experimented with styles, all the while releasing solid albums with chart topping hits such as Landslide, Rhiannon, Go Your Own Way, Don’t Stop, Dreams, Say You Love Me, Hold Me and many others.
The five seasoned, well-respected musicians comprising TUSK have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in cover bands, for over twenty-five years. It seemed only fitting that they should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute, and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years.
Fronted by solo artists Kathy Phillips (vocals) and Scott McDonald (guitar, vocals), and supported by veteran musicians Kim Williams (keys, vocals), Randy Artiglere (bass) and Tom Nelson (drums), TUSK takes its audience members on a sweet ride down memory lane. Authentic-sounding and always respectful, TUSK leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved, top-selling.

Lock Haven Community Chorus and Central PA Community Band in Concert This Friday
LOCK HAVEN – The Lock Haven Community Chorus and Central Pennsylvania Community Band will perform this Friday as part of the Lock Haven Summer Concert Series. The concert begins at 6 p.m.
Lock Haven Community Chorus
With a college-community orchestra growing, music faculty member Robert D. Lynch convened a meeting of what was to become the community chorus in 1971, and regular rehearsals in Price Performance Center began almost immediately. The chorus provides an outlet for musical expression for talented area residents of all ages, from teens to senior citizens, as well as wonderful musical experiences for the public. The chorus performs a wide range of music, from novelty numbers through sacred and secular compositions, to great masterpieces of choral music.
The chorus first performed in public in 1972, and since then, it has performed in other communities as well, including Altoona, Lewisburg and venues in the Poconos. The vocalists have been televised on WTAJ, presented two concerts at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, and created the recording “Let Me Share My Music.”
Kay E. Knarr-Fisher, an area musician, a lifelong resident of Lock Haven and a music teacher in the Williamsport Area School District is the conductor of the chorus. Presenting a wide variety of music continues to be the mission of this group.
Central Pennsylvania Community Band
In November of 2009, a hearty group of nine local musicians and a band director met for the first time with a goal of providing music for the Mill Hall Christmas Parade and the annual “Meeting of Santa” at the Mill Hall Fire Company after the parade. From this beginning, the Central Pennsylvania Community Band was born and began rehearsals in January. The band quickly grew to a membership of 50 and began rehearsing marches, concert tunes, and novelty tunes. Members travel from as far as Williamsport and State College to rehearsal which is held each Monday from 7 – 8:30 PM at the Central Mountain Middle School.
Recently the band presented its Fifth Spring Concert to a large, enthusiastic, and extremely receptive audience at the Middle School. An instantaneous standing ovation ended the performance! The band looks forward to playing a prominent role in advancing the cause of good band music in the Central PA Area. The founder and current director of the band is Paul Kellerman, and the assistant director is Ashley Crust. If you are hoping to hear lots of good old fashioned marches, toe-tappers, and entertaining band music, the Central PA Community Band is sure to please.
