Nathan (trumpet) joined the CLCB in 2018. Nathan picked the trumpet at 5th grade music night and never looked back. He played in concert, jazz and marching bands in high school (highlighted by playing in the Tournament of Roses Parade with the North Dakota High School Centennial Band!) and continued playing in various ensembles at Augustana College (the South Dakota one). Then he hung up his trumpet for more than 20 years until his kids started band. He's overjoyed to play again regularly with the CLCB. He works as an IT project manager at Allina Health and lives in southwest Minneapolis with his wife, three boys, two cats and a dog.

Greg (bassoon) joined the band in 2022.

Cindy (trumpet) joined the City of Lakes Band in 2007.  She began playing trumpet in 5th grade, loved marching band in high school, and played in both the Concert and Pep bands at Marquette University.  Cindy can't speak another language, but she can read music and that's what counts in band. 

Leah (percussion) joined the City of Lakes Community Band in May 2022. She has been singing since before she could form sentences and playing piano since she was five years old. She switched from flute to percussion between middle school and high school. She has always been actively involved in musical groups, some of those including marching band, jazz band, percussion ensemble, a cappella choir, jazz choir, and musical theatre performances. She has a degree in Music and Theatre, with a focus in music composition, from Hamline University. She is currently a manager and dog walker for Twin Cities Pets in Saint Paul. She lives in Minneapolis with her partner and three legged dog.

Emily (flute), has been a member of CLCB since 2008.  She has played flute since the 5th grade, first in Roseville area schools and then at Gustavus Adolphus College as a member of what is now the Gustavus Wind Symphony. After graduating with a degree in History and French, Emily spent a year living in France as an English teacher. Teaching was not her thing, as it turns out. Upon returning to MN, she found she missed the camaraderie and fun of playing in a band and 10+ years later, here we are. Emily works in operations for Life Floor, and lives with her husband, daughter, and cat in the Lake Nokomis area of Minneapolis.
