  Nina Andersen (Oatley) 

We'd like to thank Nina for her years of leadership to the band.

​

Nina recently retired after leading and directing the band for seven years.  She founded the band in September of 2017, with just a few people, and grew the band to what we are now.  She even successfully shepherded us through the Covid pandemic, meeting on Zoom at first, and later in person following musician covid protocols.  She also helped us go through the long process of receiving 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and forming a board of directors.

​

Nina graduated Magna Cum Laude from the USM School of Music with degrees in Music Education and Music Performance. She had professional training on clarinet, saxophone, and conducting.  She taught music in private and public schools for over 20 years, and served as the Artistic and Music Director for the Maine POPS Concert Band from 1997 to 2016.
