Heritage Concert Band puts call out for interested musicians BY SARAH WRIGHT
swright@candgnews.com
For musicians with any level of band experience, the Heritage Concert Band of Troy provides multiple opportunities to come together and perform. This local band program was started in Troy by some older community members who were interested in performing and continuing to practice their instruments and has been a part of Troy for around 60 years. It can have up to 45 members and is open to younger and older adult musicians at any level of playing experience. “We have a lot of older people in the band,” Heritage Concert Band member Robert T. Rourke said. “Some started playing in the band when they were young. It’s something a lot of people should get back into.” Rourke is a part of the band’s woodwind section and previously played in high school. He attended Lawrence Technological University and served in the military. He has been a part of the Heritage Concert Band for over 25 years. “It’s mostly to let off steam from jobs for a lot of us,” Rourke said.

Trudeau’s interest in nutrient data began after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Currently, Trudeau consults with various companies on data science, analytics and business optimization projects, and he is the co-owner/operator of Troy Martial Arts along with his wife.
