I have been asked if we can forward this poster on to our HCB membership regarding this Sunday’s concert with the Glass Winds and the Stadacona Band at the Spatz Theatre at 2 pm. Thanks, Dave Glass Winds: Stad Poster.JPG

Hi all
I just came from a visit with John and he gave me permission to update the band on his condition.
Sadly, he will not be returning to band. His doctors and family are doing all they can to make sure he is comfortable at home.
I let him know the band is always thinking about him and we miss him.
Thanks Perla
