The SCB Officers and committee members met at the Shinnston City Government Offices on January 22, 2008 to discuss a wide variety of topics including the rehearsal schedule for the upcoming Summer Concert season. Rehearsals begin February 19th at 7:00pm at the Lincoln High School bandroom, and will continue once or twice each month until weekly rehearsals begin in May.

Did you notice the new signs as you enter the city on each end of Route 19 and on Saltwell Road that announce “the Home of the Shinnston Community Band.” !!! Thanks to Norm McDougal of ACE Metal Works in Enterprise for his generous donation to the band and the city. Mr. McDougal is a great supporter of SCB and has donated an enormous amount of time and materials to promote the band. THANK YOU!

One other announcement: The SCB Family Picnic will be held at the Shinnston City Park on June 29th. Swimming at the pool will be free for members and their families. More information will be forthcoming.

See you Tuesday…remember: BRING A FRIEND TO REHEARSAL.
