NORWICH – After a long hiatus, the newly re-formed Mid York Concert Band (MYCB) played its first concert last spring of 2015.

This fall, retired Norwich High School orchestra director, Mark Sands, was selected to take the helm as director.

Sands said, “There are a number of summer bands in our area, Norwich, Oxford, Smyrna and Sidney to name a few. However, there is a lack of opportunities for these musicians to perform during the year.”
