The Carteret Community Sunshine Band is starting rehearsals for its spring concert season and is looking for new musicians to join.
The Sunshine Band is a volunteer wind ensemble made up of local residents, from students to retirees, who love performing concert band music. The band is especially seeking trombone players, and also needs clarinet and trumpet players, though musicians on all concert band instruments are welcome.
Directed by Ritchel Lawson, the band rehearses Monday nights at Newport Middle School and performs community concerts throughout the year.
Spring rehearsals begin January 26, 2026

Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Activities include fellowship, music, art, movement, and service projects, plus a hot lunch. Starting May 1, Come Again meets every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2311 Elizabeth Ave. There is a small fee to attend. Come Again honors our loved ones living with dementia by lifting up their remaining strengths in a supportive, creative and purposeful way. For more information about joining Come Again or volunteering, contact director Lindsay Roberts at lindsayroberts@newbernrespite.org, 919.428.0618 or www.newbernrespite.org.
