Hi all
I regret to inform you that Dave Staples (our fearless leader) has tested positive for COVID-19. He has been unable to find another conductor, so rehearsal tomorrow night is cancelled. See you on April 25.

Hi all, Our upcoming performance with the Halifax West HS Concert Bands is this coming Tuesday, March 28th at 7 pm in the Bella Rose Arts Centre at Halifax West. The West High School Concert Bands (Grade 10 and Senior) will begin the program and the HCB  will be on 3rd.
Our program list and order is: 1) Sarabande and Gavotte 2) Nightmare Before Christmas 3) Kirkpatrick’s Muse 4) Praeludium (Also please have Assorted Chorales on stage with you as a quick warm-up before we perform)
David Burtt has asked us to use the band room (not the Green Room) for our assembly/warm-up and I ask all members to arrive by no later than 6:30 pm for that. At 7 pm we will take our places in the theatre seating as audience members. Dress for the concert will be all- black with the HCB band shirts (or black top).
Thanks and see you on Tuesday night. Dave
