Re: New Horizons Band issue

The true issue would be with a rehearsal location for the full group (and storage for large percussion instruments). I would suggest finding a friendly high school, college or local church (fellowship hall) where a weekly rehearsal (and storage) can take place. Those would be the same places you could perform in addition to park concerts.

Don't worry about growth! Besides, standard sized concert bands are more flexible because they have "deep benches" (folks who may own and can play odd instruments like contralto clarinet or contra bass clarinet, etc).

I've seen large groups have to scramble to find new places to rehearse, but in the end they did. And I've seen small groups just vanish because the one person who was tight with the venue lost favor with the "powers that be." There is strength in numbers.........and not just in terms of volume!
