Longtime City of Fairfax Band Association Director Bob Pouliot is retiring this year. His final concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 13 at Katherine Johnson Middle School. We'll be highlighting his storied career in an upcoming edition of Cityscene. 

As part of the story, we'd like to include memories of your favorite CFBA performances. He was appointed director in 1994, so there are plenty of concerts to choose from!

Please email your memories and farewells to wecare@fairfaxva.gov. We will include as many as space allows. All of them will be shared with Mr. Pouliot. Thank you. 

Etta Bowles Richards-Strozier (1916 -2023) was a lifelong resident of what is now the City of Fairfax, and her family has deep roots in the community as residents and property owners along Roberts Road. 

We are grateful for her contributions to the Fairfax oral history project in 2010 and mourn her passing.

Title VI and its related authorities provide that no person shall on the ground of race, color, national origin, sex, or disabilities be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal funds.
