by | Feb 16, 2023 | Announcements

Hello!
Below is an important message from Doug and our plan for next week!
(Remember that this week we will start right away with sectionals because I will have conferences.)

For Fun:

Thanks, All!
— Jenny Leist

Message from Doug:

Hello NHBFV Musicians,
Our winter session ends on Feb 28 and our spring session officially starts on Match 14.  PLEASE go online and register at https://newhorizonsbandfoxvalley.com/join-us/ 

Registering early helps Jenny and our sectional instructors know who’s coming in March and better prepare music ahead of time for everyone.

HOWEVER, please note, we WILL still have a rehearsal on March 7…. This rehearsal night will either be a make-up rehearsal (for a canceled rehearsal due to bad winter weather) or a bonus rehearsal, if there were no weather-driven cancellations to make-up.  Either way, band will have a rehearsal on March 7.

See you at band – Doug
