By Editor | March 17, 2021 By ERIC X. VICCARO Strike up the band. That’s the message Ste. Genevieve Municipal Band President Jimmy Donze said loud and clear last Thursday. Donze was one of two speakers to make a personal appearance before the board of aldermen during its regularly scheduled meeting. “That’s the plan,” Donze later said in a telephone interview with the Herald on Friday evening regarding whether or not there would be set performance schedule for the summer of 2021. Donze, himself a drummer and percussionist, also serves as the group’s sound technician. John Mooney, Ste. Genevieve R-II School District instrumental music instructor and a Ward 1 alderman, serves as the director.
