SUMMARY:Capital District Megaband

Besides the fiddle\, guitar\, flute\, and keyboard\, any instrument that can play for dances is welcome. \nGeorge Wilson (Photo: Lawrence White) \nDirector / conductor George Wilson works with the group to focus on building repertoire and developing the nuances and groove necessary for good dance music. \nIntermediate level players and higher are encouraged to join.

There are no individual instrument lessons. Dues are collected to pay for expert instruction and leadership\, as well as rehearsal space. Our season begins in May with a rehearsal open to all.  Various performance dates at dances and community events are scheduled throughout the year. \nYou can download a flyer here.  For more information\, please contact megaband@danceflurry.org or call 862-400-7227. \n\nThe Megaband will have an Open practice on Saturday May 14 from 2:00-4:00PM at the Shaker Pavilion (15 Meeting House Road\, Albany\, NY 12211)
