Photo misleads LI Band funding

The Island Now

The picture of the Band of Long Island (BOLI) the Great Neck News printed on Friday, August 3, 2012 was very misleading.  

It was placed to accompany an article about the Park District’s decision to allocate funds for back line instruments to play with pop artists in its summer concerts at Steppingstone Park.  

However, none of the funds approved at the meeting were allocated to or intended for our ensemble.  

While the Band of Long Island appreciates the publicity and was pleased to have performed for the large crowd on July 4th, the funds discussed had nothing to do with the performance we gave at the traditional holiday concert last month.
