Due to last-minute yet unavoidable circumstances, the Nacogdoches Community Band was not able to meet for their first rehearsal last week. They will be starting up again this weekend, Sunday the 14th, so if you were considering going to find out more, you have a second chance. It’s a fun group and they hope you can join this year!
Rehearsals for the 2014-2015 Season of the Nacogdoches Community Band will begin on September 7th at 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. in the SFASU Band Hall.
A membership drive to increase the size of the band is currently underway and nearly all band instruments are
needed for this group. Clarinets, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, you name it, you’re welcome to join this fabulous band group. And don’t worry if you have not played in awhile . . . it will all come back to you, sooner than you think.
Please help us reach new band members by spreading the word in the community – let’s get the word out there! It’s going to be a great year!
You can also help by buying a bumpersticker for your car or bike, or a T-shirt to wear around town, to help other musicians find out about us. Bumperstickers in particular are nicely affordable – get several and share with friends!

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.
