| Brief History
Music is an integral part of Fostoria’s heritage. There has been a band
representing Fostoria, taken from Fostoria and the surrounding area, for
nearly seventy years. Fostoria has been the home of the nationally known
VFW Band of the 1940’s and 50’s, the Federation Band, and most recently,
The Community Band. Though the older bands have been long gone, the love
of music has prevailed through in the creation of the Fostoria Community
Band in the mid 1990’s. The band was formed under the direction of Dave
Zoll, a former Fostoria Schools music instructor. The band has grown under
several conductors and now is under the directorship of Jarrod Koskoski,
instrumental music teacher at Toledo Christian Schools. The band performs
several concerts throughout the year at various venues in and around Fostoria.
Approximately 40 members participate in each concert. The Fostoria Community
band practices on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 PM in the Fostoria
Middle School band room. |
