Hello!
We hope you are well. From here, we can feel the return of the lengthening of the days. What about you?
For February, the Community Band will be sharing the fruits of their labors on February 8th at NFSIS in Paonia for Swing Night, 6:30 for a beginner Swing Dance Lesson and 7pm for live music! This project is currently a 25-30 piece jazz big band and is such a fun offering from our community. Directed by David Alderdice and Jeannette Carey.
Please see below for our full list of events spanning a wide range from Swing Night to spring embodiment retreats.
