Band Practice Halted For Winter Months In Thomson
The Thomson band has discontinued its practice for the winter months. Unclear if it will restart or fold, as lack of local interest and several members moving away have weakened personnel. The home band sounded fine at Savannah last week, and civic pride suggests the York Commercial Club discuss the matter at its next meeting to safeguard this longstanding community organization.
