We hope y’all are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend! 🇺🇸🎶

Just a reminder that The Band Shoppe will be closed Monday in observance of Labor Day, but we’ll be back at it Tuesday for all your musical needs!

In the meantime, come on down to the Sykesville Farmers Market today! Grab some yummy treats, enjoy this beautiful weather, listen to some live music, shop local, and maybe even adopt a puppy or two while you’re at it! 🐶🎶☀️

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we’ll !

Parts aren’t always available and when that happens, we make them! 🛠️🎷

That’s exactly what Lee did today for one of our teachers, Anthony Carlucci! With the help of some sweet tools from our friends at Ferree's Tools Inc and StewMac, Lee whipped up a brand new hinge rod, made and installed a new roller, and got this sax all back together and ready to play! After

Sometimes you can’t order the part you need… you just have to make it. 💪

We hope everyone enjoys the extended weekend! We’ll be back at it first thing Tuesday. Until then, don’t labor too hard this Labor Day weekend! 😎🇺🇸

Lee just wrapped up a HUGE project this week! 🛠️🎶 Here’s a sneak peek at our newest lesson room at The Band Shoppe! 👀

The last several weeks certainly didn’t go according to plan, and we can’t thank yall enough for your flexibility and grace you extended. Sometimes an unexpected setback creates an opportunity to take a step back, refocus, and rebuild even better than before.

What started with floods, cleanup, and reconstruction gave us the chance to rethink some of our spaces and make improvements we’ve wanted to tackle for a while. Now that the cleanup and reconstruction are finally behind us, we’re turning the page and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s taking shape!

This new lesson room is just one piece of it. We’ve got some awesome things happening around The Band Shoppe, and we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Stay tuned… we’re just getting started! 👀
