By Phil Caruthers, Nicholas Oatway and Jill Breitner The joy of the Ojai Band Summer Concerts On Wednesday, July 26, I was lucky enough to get to conduct the Ojai Band playing Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” the traditional last number of their summer concerts. In my excitement, I forgot to properly acknowledge the Ojai Band and thank them for their marvelous performance, regardless of my mediocre conducting.
