The Pagosa Springs Instrumental Music Society (PSIMS) Community Band, the Pagosa Springs High School Jazz Band and the Pagosa Springs Middle School band class invite the public to a special Band-O-Rama concert on Saturday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in the Pagosa Springs High School auditorium. Admission is free.
It is vital to the continuation of high-caliber musical performances in Pagosa Springs to encourage musicians of all ages to become comfortable playing in public for our concerts. PSIMS provides the opportunity for them to learn from experienced musicians in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Some students who have participated in Band-O-Rama have continued to embrace music and gone on to pursue college degrees in music as teachers and performers. PSIMS is very proud to announce that, this year, we will be awarding two $1,000 scholarships to local students continuing their education in instrumental music. Awardees will be announced at the concert.
Please come out on May 6 and support Pagosa’s music students and their families. While admission is free, donations support the mission of PSIMS.
PSIMS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which provides free concerts four times a year: this Band-O-Rama concert in the spring, July 4 in town, the Fall Concert and Heralds of Christmas for the winter holidays. PSIMS contributes financial support to the music community with music lessons, band music, instrument repairs and scholarships to music students.
