by Merrill Silver

simcha bandMusicians ages 10-110 needed to perform in the Simcha Band on Purim, March 4, 2015.

If you can read music or carry a tune, if you have a song in your heart and an instrument in your house, if you have previously played in the band or are joining for the first time, please help make our multi-generational band a big success. Conductor Mark Weinstein will encourage you to be the best musician you can be, while having fun.
