Darby Substitute Trustee Attorney at Law 1111 North Howe Street Southport, NC 28461 910-457-1993 (3-11,18c) Brunswick Concert Band conductor Paul Pittenger is retiring after 12 years of service to 'th^hand and'wili e replaced by four-year band member Jean Willett. Pittenger has been named conductor emeritus and will make occasional appearances with the band. Founding conductor Pittenger passes baton as county band leader By Holly Edwards Feature Editor Twelve years after he founded the Brunswick Concert Band, Paul Pittinger has retired his conductor's position because, he says, he no longer has the “stamina.” “It takes a tremendous amount of concentration, energy and stamina to be a conductor,” he said. “And when I hit my 70s 1 started going downhill noticeably. Not dramati cally, but noticeably.” The 71-year-old Southport resi dent says he now will devote more time to his other passion -- writing short stories, poetry and memoirs. Jean Willett of Long Beach, a trumpet player and four-year veter an of the band, has volunteered to replace Pittinger. Pittinger was named conductor emeritus by the Brunswick Concert Band Board of Directors this week and says he will make occasional appearances. “1 don't see this as a transition, but a continuation of everything Paul started,” Willett said. “1 feel like he's built a real strong foundation for the band and I’d like to see us continue to grow in that direction." There may not be any major changes in band performances, but both Pittinger and Willett agree that STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK ESTATE NOTICE The undersigned, CHARLOTTE HON HALL, having qualified as EXECUTRIX of the Estate of ROBERTA PORTER HON, late of Brunswick County, does hereby notify all persons having claims against the estate of said CHARLOTTE HON HALL to present them to the under signed on or before three months from the date of publication of this notice or same will be pleaded in bar of their recovery.

Box 10969 Southport, NC 28461 (3-11,18,25;4- c) ‘No two conduc tors do things the same way, and what I love about live performances is that each perfor mance is different.’ Paul Pittenger every conductor is unique. A conductor’s primary role is to interpret a piece of music on an emotional level and help the musi cians convey that emotion to the audience, Pittinger explained. And, he said, every conductor has a unique way of conveying emotion. “There are little nuances I've picked up over the years, and these nuances are different for each con ductor,” he said. “No two conduc tQrs do things the same way, and what I love about live performances is that each performance is differ ent.” Willett has served as conductor for the band occasionally for several years, so she said band members already are accustomed to her own nuances. What began in 1986 as a 14-piece band, organized to perform for the Brunswick Little Theater produe Tutor training held April 3-4 Brunswick County Literacy Coun cil's next tutor traininjt^workshop will be held in two sessions Friday, April 3, from 6 to 9 p.m. and con tinuing Saturday, April 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p:m. at Supply.

Laubach Literacy Action is the largest volunteer liter acy organization in the country, tion of “Oklahoma” is now a 40 member group that performs six to ten times each year. Pittinger said the original band practiced every week for two years before band members felt comfort able enough to perform before an audience for the first time, at Franklin Square Park in 1988. Band members currently are preparing for their annual spring concert at the Brunswick Com munity College Odell William-son Auditorium on Sunday, May 3. Rehearsals are held every Tues day. 7 p.m., at the CP&L Media Center. Both Pittinger and Willett said the band is always seeking new members. "The age range in the band is teens to 80-something year olds." Pittinger said.
