David Carlson, President and one of the Director's of the JC Community Band, received a $200.00 donation from the JC Breakfast Optimist Club  with the money going to the Jack Moore Scholarship.

The Jack Moore Scholarship was created to honor the long-time percussionist in our area.  After playing one year in the Community Band students may apply for the scholarship to attend a band camp, which is usually at Fort Hays State University in the summer.  The selection process will be conducted at a later date and announced at a Community Band Concert in June. 

Concerts are held at the C.L. Hoover Opera House on Sundays at 3:00 PM during the month of June.  An added concert will start the season on May 31.  The concerts are free and open to the public.
