We are excited to announce our next program, the last before we leave for NABBA! This will be an afternoon full of fireworks for the band, as we play our two selections for the championships as well as some solos and more standard works for band. You really REALLY will not want to miss this!

As many of you may or may not know, this will be the band's first time back at NABBA for several years. As we have discovered, getting 30 people to Alabama for a weekend is quite an expense! If you are planning on attending our show, all ticket and t-shirt sales/ other donations will be helping us to offset our travel costs. If you can't attend but would still like to help out the band- you can donate here: Donate

Our sincere thanks, and we hope to see you on the 16th!
