The After Work Social at Deep South the Bar was a success, donating a trunk-full of items for students! We’d like to thank all who came out in their ugly sweaters and helped to support our community.Add to your volunteer calendar:
- The Big Cahoot on January 25 at City Limits Saloon
- Last Band Standing event on March 1 at Lincoln Theatre.
We will need plenty of volunteers for both events and look forward to seeing you there!Please contact Cari Swann with questions about volunteer opportunities.back to top

“For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.” As I look back on 2013, I raise a glass to the good times and the bad, the friends made and the friends lost, the time spent with family and to the memories created. For all that 2013 was, it was an opportunity to learn, grow and build upon. I celebrate the days gone by, but look forward to the good times ahead with a hopeful heart and quiet determination to make this year better for my family and my community. As your look ahead this year, I hope you will join the Band Together family in making the Triangle a better place to live. Raise your cup of kindness and take care.back to top
