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.

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. 

Leah (percussion) joined the City of Lakes Community Band in May 2022. She has been playing piano since she was five years old, and she switched from flute to percussion between middle 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.

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.
