About the performers

The Zeeland Community Band (ZCB) is a group dedicated to providing opportunities for the adult musician to rehearse and perform with others that share a passion for music and community outreach. They welcome any musicians with at least a high-school-level proficiency in their chosen instrument.

ZCB director Rose Wiersma earned a Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in music education, music theory, and clarinet performance. She gained her Master of Music degree as a Woodwind Specialist from Western Michigan University. Her advanced studies included Michigan State University and a summer studying in London. She has directed bands at Coopersville Area Public Schools and Grand Valley State University as a woodwind instructor.  

Larry and Carla are West Michigan’s smallest handbell choir! They are available to perform handbell duets for wedding ceremonies, worship and memorial services, and Christmas and holiday events.

The Zeeland Community Band Christmas concert will feature a handbell duet prelude by Larry and Carla. This popular annual community event will include a variety of Christmas and holiday music to help you celebrate the season!
