Leader of the Band Staci Rosbury |
|
When I asked Melbourne musician Staci Rosbury to catch me up with what she's been working on, I didn’t realize what a Pandora’s box of information I’d opened! In addition to being Melbourne Municipal Band's music director, she builds and maintains websites, works as administrator for the Indian River Symphonic Association, and is completing a certificate in business management and marketing at Eastern Florida State College. She also manages a household “FULL of animals,” she said. That’s three dogs and two cats, plus the fosters daughter Emma, who works for the Humane Society of South Brevard, brings home. And she plays the flute professionally when she can fit it in. Staci has performed with Central Florida Winds, Central Florida Chamber Winds, Melbourne Municipal Band, Space Coast Flute Orchestra, and the Brevard Symphony Orchestra over the years, but there isn’t much time for that these days, although she does grab opportunities to play with Central Florida Winds and at Community Church of Vero Beach whenever she can.
|
Playing her flute is something she will never give up, but Staci is a conductor through and through. Her early introduction to conducting was when her non-musical father “got this fantastic stereo system. He … put on Rossini’s William Tell Overture and proceeded to conduct the whole thing (knowing nothing about conducting).” It wasn’t until she got to 9th grade in her Little Rock, Arkansas, high school and realized the new band director was a woman that Staci saw her future. “I was in utter shock. … She was the first woman band director I ever encountered. I immediately wanted to do what she was doing. I wanted to conduct! It’s amazing, when I look back on it now, that it had never even OCCURRED to me that I could be someone who did that.” She followed that teacher’s lead and here she is, on the podium for the concert band of the Melbourne Municipal Band’s many performances.
|
Although things have evolved in the music world, we aren’t quite there yet. Staci said, “I am glad to see more women conductors in the professional orchestral world like JoAnn Falletta and Maron Alsop. These women are incredible musicians whose achievements I admire. But I look forward to the day when being a woman conductor is not a topic of conversation. I've had interviews where people want to talk about what I wear when conducting, or what people think of having a woman conductor. These are two things that have nothing to do with music at all. What I love about conducting is the process of making the whole better than the individual parts, connecting with the musicians who play for me, and connecting with the audience in the culminating experience of the concert itself. That's the reason we do what we do.” |
|
Maestra JoAnn Falletta, who brings her Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to Vero Beach for the Indian River Symphonic Association concert season every few years, sent this message to Staci when she learned about our Arts Blast feature:
“I am delighted and honored to send my warmest greetings to my fabulous colleague Maestra Staci Rosbury. Keep the music alive Staci! You bring such joy and hope to so many people.
Your friend JoAnn”
|
As music director of MMB, Staci plans more than 14 concerts a year, each performed twice. She chooses the themes and music, conducts all rehearsals and performances, and invites guest conductors and soloists to join them. MMB is “a pretty large organization,” Staci said. “I am in charge of the concert band. There is another conductor for the Swingtime Band, and then there are several smaller groups.” Most concerts are performed at Melbourne Auditorium but there are “smaller run-out concerts, performing in parades and at patriotic events for the City of Melbourne.” Then there are performances at Patrick Air Force Base for Memorial Day and at area churches for their 4th of July band/choir presentations. With 60 years of music behind them, it’s no surprise that the schedule is packed throughout non-pandemic years.
With so many elements under the Melbourne Municipal Band umbrella, it takes a well-seasoned board of directors and a lot of volunteers, Staci said. “(Board President) Dave Hutson’s wife, Marci Hutson, runs the band’s Auxiliary, a volunteer organization to support the band. They serve as ushers and ticket takers and handle the raffle sales at each concert. It takes a lot of people to make our organization work. When we say that our organization collectively puts in over 27,000 volunteer hours a year, it is not an exaggeration.”

Ben Earman's Making It Legal at The Barn |
|
Seeing Ben Earman’s name in the credits for the current show at the Barn Theatre wasn’t a surprise. If you locked up every regional theater on the Treasure Coast and hid the keys, he’d still find a way to be involved, on either side of the footlights!
Until the end of its run August 1, Ben is wearing the director’s hat for Legally Blonde the Musical at the Barn, guiding a cast of 26 humans and two dogs, “so really a cast of 28! The cast is beyond talented, and I am so thankful to have worked with such a hard working group of people.” Hard working and large, a challenge with the Barn’s small stage, he said, “but the cast has been nothing but dedicated and hard working to make this production a success! The amazing vocals, and incredible dancing from this cast is stellar!” The behind-the-scenes crew has done an amazing job in making the small stage look big with lighting and creative design, Ben said.
Not all popular films make the leap successfully from screen to stage, Ben noted. “Sometimes when things are taken from another source material and transferred to the stage they can loose the ‘guts,' but this is not the case with Legally Blonde. The writers did a really great job … . All of the beloved characters are still there and the story line is still the same. They took what we love from the movie and enhanced it with flashy song and dance numbers.” It’s a very high-energy show and the audience will have a great time, Ben said.
|
|
The director/actor wouldn’t want to have to choose one role over the other. On directing: “I love the process of putting something together. It is like a giant puzzle and all of the pieces must fit correctly, the challenges that directing creates are exciting.” On acting: “Being onstage is a different kind of puzzle. I enjoy both sides, all depends on the show. I direct shows that I am interested in and enjoy, shows that I really can get behind, and the same goes for being onstage. I do projects I'm passionate about.”
Ben’s earned his directorial chops with large-scale musicals and plays: Hairspray, Sweet Charity, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Something's Coming: A Musical Tribute to Harold Prince, and plays - The Miracle Worker, Sylvia, Steel Magnolias, Blithe Spirit, and The Glass Mendacity.
This show is Ben’s first for the season but watch for him in other theaters in the months ahead. And look for him at the Senior Resource Association in Vero Beach, where he works in fundraising and development.

Getting Ready to Throw Those Bowls! |
|
Where did the year go? We'll be asking that question many times as the months speed away but for now, it applies to the annual Soup Bowl event to benefit Samaritan Center in Indian River County. This came in from Indian River Clay this week:
The Samaritan Center for Homeless Families’ 29th annual “Soup Bowl” fundraiser will be back in November 2021, featuring for the third year traditional, whimsical, colorful, and creative handcrafted bowls made by potters affiliated with Indian River Clay, a community studio in Vero Beach. With the fundraiser just over three months off, production is under way.
|
Indian River Clay is making the studio and clay available to its members and local potters this summer to join in the creation of the bowls. Interested potters can contact the studio for additional information on days and times. As in previous years, clay is available, on-premises, for potters to use to create the bowls either at the studio or in their home studios. |
|
Indian River Clay invites the public to stop in to see the soup bowl production process:
- Sunday, July 18, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Tuesday, July 20, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Thursday, July 22, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Anyone interested in financially contributing to this effort, please go to indianriverclay.org, where donations can be made to help defray associated expenses.
Indian River Clay is at 1239 16th Street, Vero Beach.
|
Volunteers also are needed to help the potters with preparing clay and helping with cleanup. Contact the Samaritan Center if you would like to help in that way.
Proceeds from the Soup Bowl support the Samaritan Center, an inter-faith transitional, temporary shelter for homeless families in Indian River County. The center can be reached at 772-770-3039.

The Carbonell Awards Seeks Additional Judges for New Theater Season
(South Florida – July 15, 2021) Jeff Kiltie, president of the Carbonell Awards, South Florida’s most highly coveted recognition of theatrical and performance excellence, today announced the nonprofit organization is seeking additional judges for the 2021-2022 theater season.
“Over the last year, the Carbonell Awards has revised our entire judging process, making it more county-specific while maintaining our historic focus on recognizing and celebrating theatrical excellence on a regional basis,” says Kiltie. “In addition, we have redefined the required qualifications for being a Carbonell judge, while strengthening our commitment to creating diverse judging panels, including diversity in age, gender, race, sexual orientation and ethnicity.”
“We have an outstanding panel of experienced judges, many of whom have been working with the Carbonell Awards for years, but we are seeking additional volunteer judges who have a passion for and openness to all kinds of theater, including plays, musicals, new works, classics, immersive and multidisciplinary theater,” he says.
Judges need to have the expertise to evaluate productions, and have experience in one or more of the following areas:
+ An academic background in theater, either through past theater education or current affiliation with a college or university program.
+ Experience as an arts journalist covering theater.
+ Experience as a theater professional (e.g.: performer, director, playwright, designer, choreographer, producer, or musical director).
+ Experience in cultural outreach and theater support, particularly in underserved communities.
|
|
The deadline to apply is August 15, 2021. The 2021-2022 theater season will begin on October 1.
About The Carbonell Awards:
The Carbonell Awards fosters the artistic growth of professional theater in South Florida by celebrating the diversity of our theater artists, providing educational scholarships, and building audience appreciation and civic pride by highlighting achievements of our theater community. More than 20 professional theater companies in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties participate in the awards process every year. The Carbonell Awards also celebrate the accomplishments of local artistic leaders by presenting several Special Awards.
Along with New York’s Drama Desk and Chicago’s Joseph Jefferson Awards, the Carbonell Awards are among the nation’s senior regional arts awards and predate others, including Washington, D.C.’s Helen Hayes Awards. The Carbonell Awards are named after Manuel Carbonell, an internationally-renowned sculptor, who designed the original solid bronze and marble award in 1976, the signature trophy that is given annually to Carbonell Award winners. Over the last 45 years, the Carbonell family has donated more than $250,000 in awards. For more information, please visit www.carbonellawards.org.
