AUGUST HOMETOWN BAND NEWSLETTER
August 2022 marks the 9th anniversary of the start of The Hometown Band.
Prior to then many of the musicians who formed the Hometown Band had
played in the New Horizons Band. For the past two years practice and
participation in band activities has been difficult!
However, we are thrilled we have the opportunity to make this 9th year
exciting! Our first practice time is August 23rd 4-6pm at the Mulberry Grove
Rec Ctr. The band’s librarian, Ginger Jacobs, expects to have the music sorted
and ready for you prior to the first practice. You will be sent an email with
updated information. Mark your calendars for our first concert on
November 2nd at Savannah Center!
Many band members do not have a picture on the HTB’s website, and we
want to make sure everyone is listed! Check out the website to see if you are
included or maybe need a fresh up!
See Breeta Littlefield, band secretary, prior to band until the end
of September to have a retake or your first picture taken.

Attendance Policy for playing a Concert
As we continue grow
in quality of
performance and quantity of members
it is imperative to
have full attendance
at rehearsals. We all know that there are
very good reasons
why people are not
able to attend every rehearsal and those reasons are respected; however, the following guidelines have been established to insure
the highest level of performance that we
can possibly achieve.
It is expected you
attend at least 1/2 of
our rehearsals as well
as the dress rehearsal
in order to be able to perform at any
Concert. If for some reason you are unable
to achieve this, you
will still retain your membership in the
Band, but will not perform at that particular Concert.
You know how much practice you need in order to play the
music well, but keep
in mind that the full group needs YOU!
To achieve the proper blend and balance of
the ensemble, it is necessary that you are at each rehearsal to contribute your part
so the Director can make the necessary adjustments.
If there are special circumstances in not being able to meet the above requirements please contact the Director and you will
be notified of any exemption which
might be granted.
I hope you understand and support the
policies mentioned above while we
continue to improve musically.
