The air in Beaver County is about to get a little louder.

The reason for that is a brand new series of concerts being presented by the many groups that are part of the Beaver Valley Musicians Union, starting with the Beaver County Brass at Chippewa Park on Friday, June 17. The concert begins at 7:00 PM and is free for the public to attend; the public is encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for seating as well as their own refreshments.

BVMU vice president Tom Munroe and board member Bob Headland joined Matt Drzik on the June 14 edition of A.M. Beaver County to talk about the upcoming series of concerts by groups such as the Beaver County Symphonic Wind Ensemble and the Swingin’ Bopcats Big Band–in all, seven groups that are members of the Beaver Valley Musicians Union. They also spoke about the ways one can become a member of the groups or the union; formal auditions are not required by the BVMU, but instrumentalists must provide their own equipment.
