Welcome Back!

Happy August Everyone!

I hope you’re all enjoying a wonderful summer. Our first practice of the 2016/2017 season will be on Tuesday, September 6, 2016. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and we start collecting membership and folder cheques at 6:45 pm so that we can meet a planned 7:15 pm downbeat. If you are not returning to band this year, can you please let us know so we may take you off our distribution list.
