The EIU CrossBones will present a program titled “1234: Solos, Duets, Trios, Quartets” at Booth Library’s story time as part of Eastern Illinois University Family Weekend. The program will begin at 10:00 am Saturday Morning.

The EIU CrossBones will perform special music for the story time.

The free program will include music and readings for ages 2 to 10 and their families. Children will then be allowed to experiment with the musical instruments as part of an “instrument petting zoo.” Activities will take place in the reference room in the northwest corner of the library.

Members of the EIU CrossBones are Cameron Aldrich, Andy Ambrose, Aaron Eckert, Jaime Escatel, Jennette Grau, Tyler Harr, Royce Harrington, Max Kestner and Mark Rheaume on tenor trombones; and Bill Mitchell and Michael Pond-Jones on bass trombones. The group is directed by Jemmie Robertson, tenor and bass trombonist and assistant professor of music.
