Board & Conductors

Campbell Longworth (right) is a local middle school music teacher. His main instrument is trumpet, and has played since middle school. Campbell has performed in many local music, theater, and opera productions. He also plays viola in a local orchestra, and sings in a local choir. Born in Petersburg Alaska, Campbell moved to Fairbanks for University where he earned his Music Education degree. He has been with the band since 2015.

Erin Janoso has played trumpet with the Fairbanks Community Band since 2015—ever since she happened to overhear someone at the Ester Fourth of July BBQ talking about something called a “community band.” Having loved playing all through her school years, she’d never really meant to stop after graduation; she just hadn’t known that opportunities to keep playing existed. When she learned that the band welcomed all players with no auditions—and even offered to loan her a horn until she could retrieve hers from her parents’ basement in Virginia, where it had waited for twenty years—she jumped at the chance. Since then, Erin has also become a part of UAF's Wind Ensemble and North Star Strings (with her violin), and is so grateful for the vibrant, welcoming musical community she’s found here in Fairbanks, where she lives with her husband and daughter.
