NEWTON, N.C.—The Newton-Conover Community Band will present its annual FREE Holiday Concert on Sunday, November 22 at 3 p.m. in Blackburn Auditorium at Maiden High School, Maiden. Come enjoy some lively Sounds of the Season ranging from Christmas favorites to Jazz variations. This Fall performance season for the N-CCB includes both their Concert Band and its popular Jazz Band. Dr. William Harbinson, retired Dean of the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University, will be the concert band's guest conductor. David Hood, a community theater performer and local lawyer, will be the guest vocalist for the Jazz Band.
“There is so much more to our community band than just preparing for our public concerts,” says Ted Neely, Band Director. “It is a wonderful opportunity to come together to experience, celebrate, and simply enjoy making music as a group.” Members are not only from Catawba County, but also Burke, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, and Lincoln Counties.
The bands consist of players of all ages and experience levels. There are no auditions, no fees, and all concerts are always free and open to the public. The N-CCB always welcomes new members playing brass, woodwind, or percussion instruments. The bands rehearse on Sunday afternoons in the Band Room at Newton-Conover High School, Newton, NC from September through December in preparation for the Fall Concerts, and January through April for the Spring Season.
