NORWICH – On September 10 the Mid-York Concert Band (MYCB) will begin its fifth season under the direction of Mark D. Sands.

According to Sands, the goal of the band is to offer a quality ensemble for area musicians to perform with.

He said there are many local musicians who perform in the areas summer bands and MYCB offers these musicians the opportunity to play throughout the year, and we’d love to have them join the organization.

"It is one of the only ensembles in our immediate area that rehearses and performs from September through May," said Sands. "We welcome all interested wind and percussion musicians to join us this year."
