The Tennessee Valley Winds will perform a free concert under the direction of Mondale Rogers and Eric Scott on Saturday, March 27 at 2 p.m. Admission to the concert is free. This concert is presented as a part of the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department.
Mondale Rogers is a native of Ripley, Tenn., and holds a Bachelor’s degree in music education from the Middle Tennessee State University where he studied under the direction of Richard Murphy, Terry Jolley, Leonard Foy and performed in the wind ensemble, and other university ensembles. Mondale has worked for Coffee County Schools in Manchester, Tennessee, as the Director of Bands for the past eight years during which time the band has performed in Washington D.C. and Orlando, Florida, and in five European Countries.
Mondale is an active member of the Tennessee Valley Winds (TVW), in which he plays the trumpet.
Eric Scott is a member of the TN Valley Winds’ trumpet section. He is in his fourth year as Director of Bands at White House High School. The band at White House have recently been finalists in State Division II, performed in Washington D.C., and received superiors at the National Adjudicator’s Concert Festival on the Atlanta Symphony Hal in 2009. Mr. Scott is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, where he graduated with honors.
The Tennessee Valley Winds is a non-profit, all volunteer, self-supporting community band that has been providing quality musical performances since 1984. The community band experience is unlike school or professional groups. Rarely do amateurs and professionals, young and old, get to work together. The opportunity to learn and grow is unique. The director is more of a guide than an authority figure, and does not assign parts or solos. It is expected that all will help each other by offering suggestions and sharing. Friendships are born of shared work and musical enjoyment.
