CONDUCTOR'S MESSAGE After our most highly successful 2005 season which culminated with three concerts in September in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty in Portsmouth I find myself working to plan even more exciting and musically challenging years for Nevers' Band. A truly daunting task as we were thrilled to participate in this 2005 celebration because Nevers' Band was the only band marching in the parade welcoming the Russian ambassadors 100 years ago back in 1905. We were thrilled with being included in the recently CNN released film on the life of Christa McAuliffe and the celebration and complete presentation with the film makers present at the Planetarium in Concord in May of 2006. The Band also played at a reception for Governor Lynch at the Hopkinton Fair Grounds and performed at the annual walk for Downs Syndrome on the NH State House Plaza. For the first time we performed a Christmas Concert in Henniker in December of 2007. With a full series of summer concerts being planned by the City of Concord and the hope that many of the new recent events will become yearly events 2008 is well under way. As always funding issues make it mandatory that we vigorously seek out any and all money available from grant sources as well as public and private donations since we are a 501c3 organization so that we can continue the rich musical history of Nevers' Band with another series of free summer concerts for the enjoyment of the New Hampshire public. Please note the list of our sponsors listed on this page. If you would like to see your name or business published in this list in our programs and on this web site please consider making a tax deductible contribution. In addition if you are a musician and have a yearning to play in Nevers' Band please contact me for further details.
Douglas L. Osborne, Conductor

Nevers' Band Applauds Music in Our Schools Nevers' Band is pleased to once again be participating in the Concord High School Music Department's, Music In Our Schools Month Concert, Wednesday evening March 26, 2008, 7:00 p.m. The concert will feature the 5th grade band, Rundlett 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Bands, The Nevers' Band and The Concord High School Band. Nearly a third of Nevers' current members (ranging in age from 16 - 86) are Concord High School Alumni who began their musical career while at CHS. We all value the beginnings our school music programs gave us and would like to give something back to the community and Concord High School in particular. Conversely,as high school musicians prepare for college, or various music auditions, many of them have found playing in Nevers' Band to help their sight reading skills and basic knowledge of standard band literature. We applaud the tireless efforts of the CHS Performing Arts staff and young musicians and know that their hard work will pay off in musical excellence, discipline, camaraderie and last but not least fun! Once again, congratulations to CHS Performing Arts for outstanding performances throughout the month of March. 
Contact Us Nevers Band prides itself on its historic past, its affiliations with the City of Concord and the State of New Hampshire. Perhaps our greatest fulfillment, however comes from the rapport we've established with our audiences.
