Handbook dated 2/23/2023
UnFortunately, Lake Wildwood has cancelled the September 5th Picnic Concert. We
will not be playing.
Fortunately, Although our season isnÕt ending as planned, we believe itÕs been
successful. Three concerts with ten rehearsals beats last yearÕs record
of three rehearsals; and most important- the time we spent together playing our
instruments made a difference in our summer of 2021!
UnFortunately, Band business continues as usual. Music
folders need to be collected as soon as possible - we will use the drop-off system
we used last year. Drop off locations will be sent separately.
Fortunately, Thank You Everyone for supporting your Board of Directors. Tim
Proffitt will join the board in December as we say ado and thank you to
Michelle for her service.
Respectfully,
Sincerely,
Joelle Lake

The Nevada County Concert Band will
begin the return to an abbreviated concert season in just TWO weeks. We will first meet JUNE 14th, and then
continue on Monday evenings, 6:30-9pm, (length of time may vary) at the Band
Shell in Pioneer Park. We are all
looking forward to an enjoyable, safe start. Cheryl Woldseth is busily
selecting music for our shortened, but rigorous season.
It has been the position of the Board
to follow CDC restrictions and recommendations throughout COVID pandemic. We intend to follow the current CDC
guidelines, keeping in mind that these guidelines are a moving target. We believe that each person is
responsible for his/her own safety, and well-being. We will do our part to be informed
regarding CDC guidelines; and we ask that you plan to do your part to make NCCB
a fun and safe place for all. We will contact members through email with any
last minute updates, so check your email before heading to the park each week.
