Summit Metro Parks – believed to be the only park district in the Midwest with its own band – is seeking a conductor for its Metro Parks Ensemble.

The conductor is responsible for leading the 30-member ensemble at rehearsals and performances, as well as scheduling rehearsals, planning concert seasons with park district staff, deciding on potential new members and managing music and communications.

The all-volunteer group performs traditional marches, big band standards, classic TV theme songs and more. They play outdoors throughout the park district in summer months and indoors at Summit County retirement centers during colder months. Performances and practices are on Tuesday evenings from the end of January to mid-December.

If interested or to learn more, please contact Della Day, manager of volunteer programs at dday@summitmetroparks.org or call 330-865-8047.
