Al Kaly Band - Al Kaly Shriners
Meetings - 4th Sunday in January, April, July and October
Official Visit - June 27
Al Kaly Band – So, you're a musician and it's been a long time since you picked up that old “Licorice Stick”, well, these guys are waiting for you to speak up. This is our oldest uniformed Shrine unit. Membership was dwindling but in the past five years the band has shown great growth and of course with that, additional activity. They hold a rehearsal the 4th Sunday of non-parade months and perform at Parades, Ceremonials and any other function requested for or approved by the Potentate. They allow non-band members to perform with them at unofficial functions, as Friends and Associate Members.
There are also two subunits: the German Ensemble, which plays original German music at Octoberfests and other private parties, and the Swingin' Shriners, which entertains at programs and dances where it plays big band music from the swing era. Both perform at occasional gigs and can be booked for specific events. To book the German Ensemble, you may contact Lew McHone at llm0313@aol.com . For the Swingin' Shriners, contact Bob Hill at hill.law@earthlink.net
And again, for anyone interested in joining in on the musical fun, contact any band member, friend or associate or phone Ron Bowen at (719) 596-5594.
