band is directed by Teun Fetz, an EOU music department
faculty member.
“We will be playing eight pieces,” says Fetz,

a couple o f new pieces including “Queen in Concert,” a
medley o f rock tunes made popular by the British rock
group. We are also presenting, “Xerxes,” a concert march
by Mark Williams just introduced this year. It’s kind of
an anti-march march with a lot o f attitude.”
The band is composed o f EOU students and
members o f the community. It provides students with an
additional performance experience and area musicians
with an activity that allows them to pursue their interest
in music by being part o f a band.
The concert is free. Donations will be accepted.

“ I am pleased to
announce that the Board of
Directors o f BEO Bancorp
has voted to declare a $0.20
per share dividend for 2010.
The dividend will be paid to
shareholders of record as of
December 6,2010, payable
on or before December 15,
2010,” said president and
CEO, Jeff Bailey.
According to Board
Chairman, Brad Anderson,
“BEO Bancorp has paid
a dividend 24 o f the past
25 years. Dividends are a
reflection of the financial
stability and profitability
o f the bank. We are very
happy to be able to provide
this dividend to our share
holders.”
“In 2009, the board
o f directors made the pru
dent decision to forego pay
m ent o f dividends during
the recent recession. The
actions helped to strengthen
capital and complimented
the successful capital raise
o f last winter. The board
will continue to assess over
all econom ic conditions
and m ake decisions that
are in the long term best
interest of our shareholders,
customers, employees, and
com m unities,” concluded
Bailey.
