Hello everyone,
We had yet another snow day… good weather coming next week, right? We now only have two rehearsals left until our March Concerts. I am going to keep the same rehearsal plan as if it were last week. These will be the concert pieces for Sunday, March 22nd (Hounds of Spring is a possibility – I will be deciding still on Tuesday). For the March 24th concert we will be playing some of these ones as well, but not all:
– Chorale warm up – Eagles – Hounds of Spring – Lyric Essay – March of the Trolls – Lion King – Celtic Suite – Northern Lights March (if time)
See you all Tuesday, March 3rd for our 6:30 rehearsal!

Due to the recent winter storm, all schools are closed today. This means the Halifax Concert Band rehearsal for this evening is also cancelled. See you next week.

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on staffing for AFM 2026 and am wondering if you would be willing to spread the word to your community band members. We’re looking for people for the following positions:
– Adjudicator Secretary – Festival Host – Stage Crew
Rate of pay is $150/day
This is great way for folks who love band to spend a day listening to great bands from all over the country.
If you have anyone who is interested please ask them to contact me as soon as possible at steve@atlanticfestivals.com
Also, if anyone has a current email for Bob Bauer and could share it with me that would be great.
Thanks for your assistance.
Cheers, Steve Steve Hartlen (He, Him, His)
