*These names are listed on programs of the Roseville Municipal Band, on which the stage band also played. They only list people by sections, not who played which part or even who played which type of saxophone. Thus the assignment of people to parts is mostly arbitrary in the above table for 1969 and 1970. We do know that Colleen Danner and Bill Pearson played alto, Dick Leisen tenor, and Jim Ruff bari. No string bass player is listed, but band director Mark Lammers always brought in a "ringer" to play the concert. Steve Barnett was one of them.
**These are the people visible in a photograph of the jazz band playing for a pancake breakfast in February, 1979. The picture caption says, "Entertainment for the breakfast was provided by the Roseville Comunity Band, of course."
The people named below are just some of those who played in the Roseville Big Band between 1976 and 1983. Most of the musicians listed in the 1983 and 1984 rosters also played before 1983, and they are not listed again here unless they played different instruments. During that time period, the distinction between members and subs was less clear. For example, Harry McCoy, listed above on second alto in 1983, did not regard himself as a regular member of the group, and he subbed on all five of the sax parts. Furthermore, people sometimes doubled parts, so some of the musicians listed below might not have played all the time.
