Jim will be at the church – will hand out new music and if enough people want to stay and rehearse –good. The side roads in Akron are still a little messy, so don’t drive if you don’t want to. I know we can’t wait to get started, but, we need to respect the weather too. Be safe.

There will be no Zoom as I won’t be able to make it. (webmaster)

IT WILL WARM UP SOMETIME!

When you get done digging out your driveway, go dig out It’s Miller Time and The Marches of the Armed Forces. Hopefully the weather co-operates and we have rehearsal tomorrow, but, will send an email tomorrow to confirm.

At the annual NHB annual meeting on Monday, January 12th, Jim Adkins announced that he would be stepping down as the director (a position he’s held for 22 years) after a concert that we will be playing at the MAPS Museum on Sunday, April 19th. Jim is experiencing health problems and he feels like this is the right decision – not only for him but for the band. The good news is that he is going to become a “member” of the band and play percussion with us!! 

Cathy Fogle will be taking the reins after Jim steps down. She is excited to be able to do this and Jim thinks she will be a great fit.

Please be sure and thank Jim for all his years of service and EVERYTHING that he has done for us and New Horizons. 

Jim and Cathy cancelled rehearsal today due to the extremely cold weather. So far 2026 has been cold. See you Thursday (I hope) . Please pass the information along to anyone else you know in the band.

Jim cancelled rehearsal today due to the extremely cold weather. Stay warm and see you Monday. Please pass the information along to anyone else you know in the band. (1/15/26)

Also, dig through your music and see if you can find Semper Fidelis and bring it with you.
