Napier Tech Band Concert - Belated Mother's Day
Come and celebrate a belated Mother’s Day with the Napier Tech Memorial Band at our next concert on Sunday 19 July at the Salvation Army Citadel, Greenmeadows, starting at 2pm. Tickets are $10 on the door.
The programme has a rousing start with ‘Entry of the Gladiators’ and includes ‘I dreamed a dream’ from Les Mis, ‘Irving Berlin: The Early Years’ and the foot tapping, thigh slapping ‘Hootenanny’, finishing with a tribute to Glenn Miller with ‘King of Swing’. This concert also features items from the growing Junior Band and a trumpet duet from two of the Tech Band’s more experienced musicians.
We are always keen to welcome new players to both the Tech Band and the Junior Band. If you are interested in joining us, email tcuthbert@napiercentral.school.nz or go to our website www.napiertechband.org... to find out more.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
