The Atchison County Community Band held its first practice Sunday, August 9. The band will be practicing every Sunday through September 13 from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. at the Rock Port High School band room. Musicians eighth grade on up are encouraged to join the fun! If you don’t still have your instrument, be sure to reach out to director Abby Palmer so an instrument can be obtained for you (abby.palmer@rpbluejays.com or on Facebook). After all those rehearsals, the Atchison County Band will perform for the public at Old Fashioned Saturday Night in Rock Port Saturday, September 19. (Submitted photo)
