Description

The Kenosha Pops Concert Band and Racine Concert Band both are celebrating their centennials this summer. In this podcast, I interview several members of the Kenosha Pops as well as former director Frank Germinaro and current assistant conductor Kathy Ripley on the history of the band. Band Members interviewed include: Marv Miller (member since 1950), flute player and Kenosha News entertainment reporter Liz Snyder, and band manager John Moyer. 

Music track is portions of the 1928 march "Badger Legionnaire," from the Kenosha Pops recording "Music from the Shell."
