WEST LIBERTY During a time when performing ensembles struggle to find ways to make music with one another and share it with the public, the West Liberty University Concert Band has not only been successful rehearsing in person, they put themselves in the national spotlight.
“With the arrival of COVID-19, one of the many health and safety recommendations for large instrumental ensembles, especially those that are only able to rehearse inside, was to lessen the size of the ensemble and space musicians out 6 to 9 feet apart,” said Gretchen L. Pohlman, WLU’s director of bands and a Wheeling resident.
