The Community Band offers the opportunity for those lapsed musicians in town to dig deep into their closets and find those long buried instruments, with a few sessions witht he band it shouldn't be long before they get their musical vibe back on again.
The Community Band also notes that those that they can also lend a hand for those that may have an interest in the group but don't have an instrument at the moment.
The first practice is set for Monday September 12th at the Music Studio located at Charles Hays Secondary School, the studio is the building found at the front of the school to the right of Rainbow market.
