The Heavenly Journey Blog

If you look at our photo page, you’ll see a new album entitled MS Community Symphonic Band.  This album is just to show you what else Patrick and Karen do with their free time.  As noted on the About Us page, Karen plays flute and Patrick plays trombone.  You’ll find both in several of these pictures, but most are of other members of the band.  Most of the pictures were taken by another band member, Wayne Miller, who is a retired band director, and exceptionally good oboe player.  The director of the band is David Miller (no, no relation!).  David is also the webmaster for Heavenly Journey’s website.  David is an exceptionally fine website designer, so if you’re looking for someone, go to dmillerweb.com and check him out.

Also included in the album are pictures of Mississippi Swing, an off-shoot of the MCSB.  These people play year round at different venues across mid-Mississippi.  Patrick plays bass trombone with this group.  Their director is David Schommer, a trumpet player with the MCSB.

If you are interested in hearing these two bands, free concerts are held five times a year at the Belhaven College Center for the Arts.  Yes, I said FREE!  At this last concert, nearly 700 people were there, so if you come (and we hope you do), please come early to get a good seat.

We love you!!  And look forward to seeing everyone soon!!
