After a year's hiatus (because webmistress Kari Diehl had a bit too much on her plate), the Bellingham Community Band's website is back in operation! (we also have a very active Facebook page).
While I (Kari) am happy to continue building and maintaining our website, I'm also open to suggestions or - if any band members have better web development skills, to handing it over completely for someone else to improve. I'd particularly appreciate it if people could share more recent videos or photos of the band that we could incorporate into the site. If you'd like to try your hand at blogging (short pieces about the music we're playing, profiles of band members, or good band memories), that would be great, too!
So, please have a look at the website as it currently stands and let's talk about this at Saturday's practice. Thanks!

P.S. It may take a few weeks before this website will appear on search engines like Google or Yahoo. That's because I'll need to blog steadily for a while and optimize the SEO so that the search engines will begin to recognize the page.
P.S. (again): You'll also note that I need to update the members' roster and our lists of sponsors. That should happen over the course of the next week.
P.S. (final): You'll now find a Paypal "donate" link on the "Band Aid" page which will allow you or others to contribute to the band or even to pay your dues on a monthly basis or annual basis.
