All bandsmen and bandswomen are invited to come and play with the New Philadelphia Summer Play-Around Band! The band will meet each Wednesday (beginning June 7) at 6:30 p.m. in the church fellowship hall (on the God’s Acre side of the church). We will play chorales from the green and blue books that are selected by the players. A different local band leader will direct each night. This is a great opportunity to meet new players, learn a new instrument or part, and keep those lips in shape over the summer. Hope to see you there!
