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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
