Our First meeting will be at 3:00pm on Saturday, October 3 (before the first hockey game). We will meet at Boston University Band Room and then proceed to the Agganis Arena for rehearsal and dinner.
Watch our first installment in our second video blog series, entitled “Where to Find Us!” We will be showing
you some of the facilities we use over the next few weeks. This week, learn about the Band Room a bit as
Band Council President Miranda Hellman talks about it and shows you how to get there on the Green Line T!
Look back next week for the next video!
