Members have

varying backgrounds and skill levels, all have some experience in a band

at some point in their past. Bill Steadman is an example of a typical

member: he played through college, took a long hiatus during his bread-winning

years. Just over ten years ago he started playing brass instruments again

and is now an active participant with the band.

Although many

are older adults, high school students and young adults also play with

the band. Steadman's two children, Jeremy, 25, and Paige, 20, have participated

when their schedule permits since high school.

The popular

band has been tooting, tweeting and banging to the delight of audiences

for over ten years. They play every year as part of the Peachtree City

July 4th celebration and entertain at numerous charitable and civic events.

They also play each year at the Main Street Arts Show and host an annual

concert at Picnic Park in Peachtree City. Band members practice on Monday

nights from 7:30-9 p.m. at the YMCA Chimney Lodge on Huit Road off Hwy.

54 between Peachtree City and Fayetteville.

Those interested

in finding out how they can become a part of this vibrant group may call
