Concerts in the Park proceeding in 2021, long-term sustainability unknown
SHERIDAN — By her own admission, Erin Schanzenbach “literally grew up under a piano.”
That’s what happens when both of your parents are band directors, Schanzenbach said, and she was playing bass drums in the Sheridan Community Band at the age of 10.
Schanzenbach has been a part of the community band for 24 years — nearly the entire three decades the band’s Concerts in the Park series has been funded by the John and Dorothy Duncan Trust Fund. And, when the trust fund board elected to stop funding the program this year, Schanzenbach was heartbroken.
