For the first week of the Cedar Rapids Municipal Band season, director Steve Shanley is working his Coe College colleague Bill Carson pretty hard. Bill’s clarinet playing is featured in a Benny Goodman medley, then Bill picks up the baton to conduct Percy Grainger’s “Spoon River,” a piece that Bill resurrected when the master copy of the score was found in the Coe archives.
