The New Cumberland Town Band had its beginning in 1946 as the New Cumberland American
Legion Post 143 Band. In the early 1950s the band became an independent, self-supporting
organization.
The Band is most active in the summer months and plays in New Cumberland and other
Harrisburg area venues. The Band also plays an annual Christmas Concert at Trinity United
Methodist Church which is co-sponsored by the New Cumberland OldeTowne Association.

Shope, Dick Klinedinst, Pat Ciccarone, Earl T. Caton, Jr., Larry Grier, Donna J. Deaven, Tom
Turnbull, Jr. and our current conductor John Bugosh.

| Donna Deaven |
Donna Deaven has taken a voluntary leave of absence from her
posts of Assistant Director and 1st Alto Saxophonist. Donna has
been with the band for more than 25 years and has provided
invaluable service both as a player and as Director. In the 1990s,
she conducted the New Cumberland Town Band for an entire
summer while the band was searching for a new, permanent
musical director. As a player, her many talents have led her to
excel as a clarinetist and on the saxophone, where she has
performed as a soloist on numerous occasions. The saxophone is
her obvious favorite instrument.
We will miss Donna and wish her success in all her future
endeavors. We also sincerely hope that our paths may cross again
soon and her schedule will allow her to pick up where she has left
off so she can once more become a full-fledged member of the New
Cumberland Town Band.
