ConductorsEstablished in the spring of 1994 by Dana Demant, Bill Morrisette, and Gene Slayter,

the Springfield Community Concert Band has been a rousing success. We have pre-

sented many free Concerts in the Parks in both Springfield and Eugene, performed at

Springfield Filbert Festival and Christmas Parade. We have held an annual Children’s

Concert in Springfield’s Library, and been the opening act for a Fourth of July concert

featuring “Riders in the Sky.”

As a true community band, anyone who plays an instrument is invited to join the

Springfield Community Concert Band. Our members range in age from 15 to over

70. Occupations of our members include teachers, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and local business owners. If you

are interested in more information about our band, please contact Dana Demant at (541) 345-7377.

Dana Demant, the founding director of the SCCB, has been a music teacher in the Springfield School District for

over 25 years. He is currently the band and strings teacher at Agnes Stewart Middle School--and loving it! Besides

directing the SCCB, he also conducts the Eugene Junior Orchestra. Dana has been happily married to Lauren

Lindstrom for 28 years and has two fabulous daughters, Jordan and Zoe—who are both hilarious.

Patrick Dixon has been teaching music for the Crow School District since the Fall

of 2000. He teaches all bands (including jazz), choir, and general music. Every other

year he teaches College Now Music Appreciation for upperclassmen. In the past he

has even taught middle and high school art.

Mr. Dixon is an Oregon native, and graduated from Redmond High School. He also has

degrees from the University of Oregon, University of North Texas, and Yale University.

Before he was a full time music teacher he worked as a professional performing musician,

playing bass trombone for both classical orchestras and jazz bands, as well as a soloist

and on a number of different recordings. He has also taught at the University of Oregon,

Oregon State University, and at the Oregon Festival of American Music.

Mr. Dixon is married to Elizabeth Hoffman, flute instructor for Lane Community College.

Mr. Dixon has many outside interests including cooking, writing, painting, drawing, and sculpting. His current

favorite book and movie (coincidentally) is the Lord of the Rings. His guilty pleasure is watching Z-Grade sci-fi,

horror, and zombie movies.
