Every year, we host a reading session for church choir directors. We can't thank First English Lutheran Church and Beth Stalker enough for their hospitality and allowing us to have the reading session in their beautiful reverberant sanctuary.

Hope you've all had a Blockbuster of a summer. We've been working hard to get all the horns ready for band camps across Illinois. Cody has repaired so many horns, we think he has special powers.

Here is a little about Max:
Max Kamm started playing music at an early age at Roosevelt Magnet School under the direction of Peoria Symphony’s own Peggy Bonner and co-founder of the global Jazz Education Network, Mary Jo Papich. The environment made it easy to start forming bands and projects which took Max through high school, playing drums, bass, and guitar, eventually leading to learning home recording and production.
Eventually Max found his way to Illinois Central College to study music theory and Jazz Bass under Tony Jones and Larry Harms.
After years of playing in different bands with different styles Max found himself back behind the drums with his band, The Golden Fleece. On the momentum of winning a Battle Of The Bands at The Castle Theatre in Bloomington, Illinois they recorded multiple studio albums, pressed them into vinyl records and they toured the country for a few years.
Cut to 2022, Max found his way out to Boulder, Colorado and began teaching at the School of Rock Boulder, teaching all ages all types of music before moving back home to be with family.
