Northshore Concert Band Performing at Settlers Retirement Complex Albany
On Sunday 16th September the Northshore Concert Band performed for the residents of Settlers Retirement Complex at Albany under the baton of Leo Jeffrey, the musical director. Leo is from Auckland University. The performance was attended by a good sized audience. Every year the Northshore Concert Band plays at retirement villages in the greater Auckland area. Members of the band also come from the Greater Auckland area,from Puhoi and Hibiscus Coast in the North, from Kaukapakapa and as far away as South Auckland. Rehearsals take place at Birkdale College on Tuesday evenings from 7. 30 pm until 9.30 pm.The Band is always on the lookout for new members so if you play flute,clarinet, horn, saxophone, string bass, bassoon or some other instrument (not violin.Concert bands do not have violins) and feel like you would like to give playing in a band a go,pop along to Birkdale College one Tuesday evening and see if concert banding is for you. Incidentally, the band has a tuba looking for a player.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
