The Robson Ranch Music Club is very excited to welcome back the Denton Community Band on the 4th of July. The band is conducted by Carol Lynn Mizell. She is a published composer and oboist herself. Carol Lynn Mizell retired in May of 2017 from her “day job” as band and handbell director at Strickland Middle School in Denton. She has conducted the Denton Community Band since 1978. She holds Bachelor of Music and Master of Music Education degrees from the University of North Texas and has done extensive post-graduate work at UNT. She is also conductor of the Handbell Choirs at First United Methodist Church, Denton, and a longtime member of the FUMC Chancel Choir. An active participant in community arts, Carol Lynn was a member of the board of directors of the Greater Denton Arts Council for nine years, served as treasurer, served as president (1986-1987), and was the recipient of GDAC’s Community Arts Recognition Award (CARA) in 1989. She served as Associate Director of the Denton Festival of Carols for 13 years.
