Nacogdoches Community Band will begin rehearsal for the Spring 2014 semester on January 26th at 4:00 p.m. Remember how much fun you had as a band nerd in days gone by? You can enjoy the fun of playing with a musical group again by joining the Nac Band.
Musicians ages 16 and older are invited to participate in the band and membership is free. All concert band instruments are needed, especially clarinets and other woodwinds. Don’t worry if you have not played with a band in several years, as you’ll find that it all comes back to you.
The band practices once a week, Sunday afternoons, with additional practice at home, and will have a concert later this spring.
