Scott Kosloski joined the City of Lakes Community Band in October 2023. He has been an active educator, conductor, and performer in the Twin Cities for over twenty years. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from St. Olaf College and a Master's of Music in Wind Band Conducting from Central Michigan University. He is currently the orchestra director at Burnsville High School and has previously held band director positions in Wayzata, Saint Louis Park, and Burnsville. Scott's main instrument is percussion and he has performed with many ensembles throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. He is also an active clinician and judge for solo and ensemble competitions as well as large group band and orchestra contests.  Scott grew up in Crystal, MN and graduated from Cooper High School. He lives in Saint Louis Park and spends every moment possible with his amazing wife and two energetic children.

Maxwell Voda grew up in Minneapolis and continues to call the city home. He has been playing music since he was four years old, and is an avid violinist and string bassist. Maxwell attended St. Olaf college where he earned a bachelors in Instrumental Music Education. At school he discovered a love for conducting as well as performing, and since graduation enjoys his participation in the Minnesota Symphonic Winds in addition to his Associate conducting duties with the City of Lakes Community Band. A passionate and motivated educator, Maxwell currently works in Edina Public Schools as the district's 5th grade orchestra teacher, and has also taught in the Robbinsdale and Minneapolis public schools. When he’s not doing something music related, you can find Maxwell with a book at his family cabin or on his road bike.

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 HealthPartners and lives in southwest Minneapolis with his wife, three boys, two cats and two dogs.

Emily (trumpet), joined the CLCB in 2012. Emily started with the trumpet "because she could hear herself" in 4th grade after trying other instruments. She played in various different concert, jazz, marching, and pep bands throughout high school and college. Her personal highlights include several wonderful experiences with Purdue University Bands including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, performing at the Great Wall of China, and NCAA pep band performances. Emily majored in Environmental Engineering and is currently managing environmental compliance and sustainability for a local Twin Cities company. Outside of band she enjoys camping (especially in the BWCA), playing broomball, and spending time with her highly energetic dog. 

Greg Lundberg (bassoon) joined the ensemble in 2023. He began his musical journey as a 7-year-old pianist, but quickly grew to love the challenge of learning new instruments. He led the euphonium section of the Brandon Valley High School marching band (Go Lynx!), played tenor saxophone in the South Dakota All State Concert Band, soloed on oboe in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Honor Band, and now enjoys bassooning around with the City of Lakes Community Band. Greg graduated from Augsburg University in 2019 and obtained his CPA license in 2021. He currently works as a financial analyst at Michael Foods in Hopkins, MN, and likes to watch horror movies in his free time.

Nina (baritone saxophone) joined the band in the winter of 2021. She has been playing the saxophone since 6th grade, including jazz band, marching band, and state solo and ensemble competitions in high school, and a weekly concert band while attending the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Nina persisted in playing the sax even through the pandemic, with one semester of virtual band (sitting alone and playing precisely along with a click track) and another with instrument PPE (wrangling a large instrument into an even larger cloth sack). She graduated and began working as a water resources engineer in 2021 and is grateful to be able to continue playing music with the City of Lakes Community Band. 

Marshall (Tuba) joined the band in January 2024. Marshall has been playing tuba for over 15 years and loves holding down the foundation of the low brass section. He has performed with a variety of concert bands and ensembles, and now enjoys sharing that experience with the City of Lakes Community Band. Beyond music, Marshall is a big Golden Gophers fan and can often be found cheering them on. At home, he’s happily outnumbered by his cat, Gandalf, who sometimes supervises his practice sessions. For Marshall, band is about more than just playing—it’s about community, fun, and creating great memories together.

Karissa (tenor saxophone) has been a member of CLCB since September 2021. Captivated by music as a 4th grader when the high school band came to perform in the elementary school's gym, this was the moment she knew band and music needed to be part of her life. Piano lessons began, as did clarinet in the 6th grade. After her middle school band teacher told her clarinets couldn't be in jazz, she switched to tenor sax and the rest is history! Karissa received her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, double-majoring in Psychology and Music with an emphasis in Jazz Studies. She spends her workdays as an administrative assistant at a mental health clinic. When she isn't working, she enjoys kayaking the many lakes of Minneapolis (it's the city of lakes, after all!), catching live music of all kinds, and volunteering with animal-centered organizations.
