“I was a professional drummer in Chicago for 45 years,” he said.
Now, the Siesta Key resident is a member of the Manatee Community Concert Band. Residents don't have to live in Manatee County to join, and anyone from students to seniors are welcome.
Trapani and about 40 other members played under the pavilion at Waterside Place on Aug. 27 for the monthly installment of the music series, Sights and Sounds.
The performance attracted about 75 people. The band played classics from Ray Charles, Henry Mancini and Glenn Miller.
Lakewood Ranch residents Marilyn and Marty Munce were tapping their toes along with the music. They were ready for a standing room only crowd and brought their own chairs.
“We attend most of the Sights and Sounds concerts, and also the music on Friday nights,” Marty Munce said. “I would put us in the category of regulars.”
