BCB in the New York
Times		   We recently played a wedding reception at the beautiful Retreat at French's Point in Stockton Springs. The reception was for Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, the film producers behind "How We Get By", a documentary film about the troop greeters who welcome troops arriving at the Bangor airport.

New Website Design Underway   Our website is being re-designed with some new features and an updated look! Maintaining two sets of web materials while doing all the band and client work has slowed the pace a bit, but we're moving ahead and hope to have the whole site up and running by the end of July.
