Hi Columbus Pride Bands Members,

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and I am so excited to start another Concert Band/Wind Ensemble rehearsal cycle. We also have a wonderful and thoughtfully planned Love is Love Jazz Concert coming up on Valentine’s Day. Tell your friends and attend if you can!

I hope to see some of you at the pre-season hangout this week, but if not see you soon for rehearsals!
