Hi Folks!
I’m thrilled to announce that we’re all set to kick off the 2025 Millennium Band season!
Everyone is welcome, so please tell everyone you know and even those who you don’t know about it! (We’ve been chronically low on flute and horn players of late… hint hint).
We have also invested in new polo shirts! (If our prior uniforms were keeping you away). They’re pretty snazzy-looking! We’ll have more details about how you can take one of these babies home once we get the season rolling.
Without further ado, here are the season details, as we know them now (You can also find these details linked on the site’s landing page, as well as under the Members page):
