Featured Musician:
Dave Myrow

Since 2012, Dave Myrow has been a vital part of the Buffalo Silver Band (BSB), where he serves as both the bass trombonist and the Director of Marketing. As a bass trombonist in a British-style brass band like the BSB, Dave emphasizes the instrument’s unique role as the sole voice in the bass clef. This distinguishes it from all the other instruments in the BSB – even the tubas – which play in the treble clef. Dave frequently plays lines independent of the other trombones that enrich the band’s foundational sound.

More on Dave Myrow...
Beyond his musical contributions, Dave is the creative force behind the BSB’s marketing materials, including posters, emails, and newsletters. The BSB deeply values his innovative thinking and his ability to translate ideas into action, making him a key member of the Board.

A licensed Psychologist, Dr. Myrow holds a doctorate from the University of Illinois (Urbana) and is a published child psychologist. Together with his wife, Dr. Susan Bundy-Myrow, he has trained practitioners around the world in an approach called Theraplay. Immediately following the Images in Brass Concert, Dave and Susan will travel to Portugal and Italy for further training engagements. In addition to his professional pursuits, Dave frequently visits his son, Zach in California, and his daughter, Emily and grandson, Jovie in Mexico.

David R. Colkitt Memorial Scholarship

Donate!

To honor a beloved member of the Buffalo Silver Band who suddenly passed, The Buffalo Silver Band renamed its annual scholarship competition: The David R. Colkitt Memorial Scholarship. Until his untimely passing in 2023, David Colkitt was the longest continuously serving member of the Buffalo Silver Band. He joined the BSB in 1981 as an alto horn player, later moving throughout the cornet section until he settled in as principal 2nd cornet. He was a quiet leader who preferred to do rather than talk about what needed to be done.

More on David and the Scholarship

He played tenor horn because that was what was needed at the time. He volunteered to play solo, second, third and repiano cornets because that was what was needed. He always thought about the good of the bandswith which he played and always contributed to the very best of his ability. As a retired teacher from Akron, it is not surprising that Dave considered the annual scholarship and the side-by-side concerts the BSB plays with area school bands his favorite performances. Daniel E. Plachta, a long-time friend of Dave’s, has helped put the scholarship on firmer footing with a very generous leadership donation to start a permanent scholarship fund. You can help!
