Nat And Cody Photography Creative Services, Film Office, Film/Video People hire us to produce images that are real, connected, and vibrant, with a nice clean frame. Often these images help define a brand, show off a beautiful food, place, or product. Mostly, they help communicate a story. That's what we love. A story. We want to hear your story and what makes this project special. When you're excited, we're excited. We can provide direction for concepts, manage production, and deliver a finished product, whether it's social media content, an editorial story, a short video, or a single image (they're worth a thousand words, after all). Our team approach lends added benefits to the projects we take on. Natalie works best when digging into the production details, managing, organizing, and directing. Cody excels at creating the technical setup, lighting, retouching, and doing whatever Nat tells him.

Our nearly 50 members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, ages and occupations. All value lifelong learning and sharing of music with the community. We are proud to have several music educators among our participants. Current Director Arlene Burney taught award-winning bands at Casa Grande High School. The concert repertoire is extensive. It includes recent works by contemporary wind band composers, classical pieces, marches, folk music, and often a Broadway medley. The goal is to be sure each person in the audience finds several pieces particularly special. Concerts are performed at Casa Grande High School. They are free to the public. The band is now a class under the auspices of the Petaluma Adult School, and meets during a Fall and Winter/Spring semester, culminating in a concert. There are no formal auditions, however participants should have played at the advanced high school and/or college band level and be comfortable with sight-reading music. High school students may join on a space-available basis, but need to ask permission of the director, as well as their school instructor. An audition may be required. Participants should have their own instrument. Percussion equipment is provided. We ask commitment to regular attendance at Monday night rehearsals, 7:00–9:00 p.m. An enthusiasm for playing music and contributing to the town band tradition is essential! Potential band members should contact Arlene Burney for more details: burneyband@gmail.com
