CLEARFIELD — The sounds of the wind instruments is being married to the music of stringed instruments as the community band focuses on recreating the music of the “Messiah.”

The Clearfield Community Band, which is in its seventh year, is planning to perform selections from Handel’s “Messiah” for its public December concert. To accomplish this, the band of more than 30 members, has opened its ranks to stringed players.

Director Gretchen Myers said she wanted to try something new for the members to experience and showcase.
