Profile: Diana Harwood, Property Manager:

            The Property Manager “shall be responsible for setting up chairs, stands, and equipment at all rehearsals and concerts, and for transporting equipment to and from the concert sites.”

            Diana continues a family musical tradition.  While growing up in Ohio, Diana played trumpet in 5th grade through high school.  As a senior, she performed with the all-district band under the direction of James Swearingen.  Diana also was one of the piano accompanists for her high school choir.  When a sophomore, she sang in the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir.  “All my life, growing up, my mom had us singing in trios and the church choir and playing our instruments at church every chance she could get!”

            Her mother played the piano and trumpet; her father played the clarinet.  He also performed with the Quaker City Band, and was assistant director of the high school in Barnesville.  Diana’s sisters picked up the clarinet and the saxophone.

            After Quaker City, Diana attended Ohio State University.  Later, she taught third grade for seven years.  Diana and her family came to Bloomington in 1998 from Laurel, Maryland.
