District of Waldshut: Stadtmusik Tiengen has the unique opportunity to play at the Shrove Monday parade in Cologne
The Stadtmusik Tiengen, who were able to successfully complete their first performances after the long Corona break, have regained their footing. Chairman Thomas Dörflinger is pleased to be able to welcome numerous members, including young musicians, to the general meeting in the Klettgau beer hall. Mayor Philipp Frank was also a guest.
Secretary Katharina Kromer reported on the performances of the past year, which often took place in smaller casts. These include the evening serenades in Tiengen and Breitenfeld, the festival service on Schwyzertag and the benefit concert for the benefit of the flood victims in the Ahr Valley.
Sandra Denz said that youth work had suffered badly from Corona. A cooperation with the flute children of the Johann-Peter-Hebel-School is aimed at. Treasurer Ludwig reported on the cash position, which was negative.
Despite Corona, conductor Andreas Dangel reported, club life has always kept going, “despite all the restrictions and the annoying testing”. An invitation to take part in the Rose Monday parade in Cologne has been received for the coming year, “a unique opportunity that we shouldn’t let slip,” he explained.
Too few registrations so far
However, the prerequisite is a large number of participants, “forty plus”, everything else would be “too thin”. So far there have only been 24 registrations. So he urged the active members not to miss this performance with a million viewers.
A church concert is to take place on November 27, “which also goes in the direction of Ukraine,” according to the conductor. Looking back, Thomas Dörflinger found that the number of members had remained constant. A lot of funding has flowed in the past few years, but it is now being phased out. The planned project with the kindergarten is important for the association. He also praised the good cooperation on the board and the good teamwork in the club.
Mayor Philipp Frank paid tribute to the life of the club, “many friendships are formed here that are maintained and maintained for decades,” he said. He founded the association on the move in Cologne and offered to cover part of the travel expenses.
In the partial elections, all members were unanimously re-elected. Nine members were honored for their long-standing loyalty to the club, including Hubert Binninger, who held numerous positions in the club, for 60 years.
