Speaker:
Jerry Robbins primary interest, including his academic training and experience, has been in the field of K-12 and higher education administration, culminating in 25 years service as Dean of a College of Education at three institutions. This concluded with serving from 1991 until his retirement in 2004 as Dean of the College of Education at Eastern Michigan University, during a time when EMU was the nation's largest producer of personnel for K-12 schools.
His secondary passion, though, has been in the field of music--singing and conducting church choirs; playing in bands, orchestras, and any other ensemble that needed a trombone player; and conducting adult bands. He is perhaps best known locally as the conductor of what was the Ypsilanti Community Band--since 2010 the Washtenaw Community Concert Band--from 1998 to 2011. He continues to play in that organization, and occasionally guest conduct, as well as play with the Dexter Community Band, and, in the summers, with the Ann Arbor Civic Band. He founded and continues to conduct the 21-piece "Town Band" vintage ensemble. He is the historian and on the Board of Directors of the Dexter Community Band, as well as on the Board of Directors of the Ann Arbor Civic Band.
In his retirement years, he has researched and written the history of several local-area organizations, including the "town bands" of the Washtenaw County area, the history of the Ypsilanti Community Band, and the history of the Dexter Community Band. He is currently working on the 90-year history of the Ann Arbor Civic Band.
