A music and instrumental teacher for many area schools, he was the driver behind McLure's Marching Bands. George's bands won state and regional competitions, performed several times in Washington D.C., and began a strong music tradition that is still evident today in Monroe. The band officially retired in 2014, but there is a fascinating history of McLure's Bands available at the Monroe Town Library.

General Interest The Back Shed String Band One of Monroe's 'hidden gems', this acoustic group gathers most Friday nights in, literally, a shed at the back of a house on Plains Road (roughly across from where Coppermine Road meets Plains Road.) They play bluegrass, folk, and "Americana". Check out their Facebook page or stop by on a Friday night and enjoy. Free, laid back, and fun. TOPS "Taking Off Pounds Sensibly" will be meeting at the Library on Thursday nights at 6 pm. Fees are just $26 per year and $3 per month - a whole lot less expensive than Weight Watchers and right here in town. For men and women who want to lose weight and then keep it off. More info, call Barb Frost, 638-4416, visit tops.org or find them on Facebook. Summertime Marching Band The Summertime Marching Band picks up where McLure's left off, helping to maintain a strong tradition of music in Monroe. They play accessible, mostly traditional songs like Grand Old Flag, or When the Saints go Marching In, and appear in area parades like the Woodsville-Wells River Fourth of July Parade, Lisbon Lilac Festival, and so forth. All ages are welcome. You don't have to be an "expert"! The band practices in the Monroe Town Hall one evening a month. For more info, call Mary Choate, 603-638-4903, or message their FB page, here. |
