The Central Texas Community Band will begin its spring rehearsals on Monday, January 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Davidson Music Complex’s Band Rehearsal Hall on the campus of Howard Payne University. Frank Nelson, director of bands and assistant professor of music at HPU, will direct the ensemble along with invited guest conductors from the area.

“The Central Texas Community Band is open to anyone of high school age and up who would like to play an instrument with fellow community members,” Nelson said. “Consider becoming a part even if it has been years since you have played your instrument. Do not miss this wonderful chance to share the joy of music with the community.”

The band will perform selections from numerous well-known composers at the annual “American Music Spectacular” year-end concert, scheduled for April 25. For more information, please call Frank Nelson at 325-649-8502.
