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
