Open Door Band: Official Update — We’re Heading to Olympia!
I’m thrilled to share a major update about the future of Open Door Band!
Over the past few months, many of you have asked where we might meet and when we might begin. I’m happy to say the project is moving forward beautifully, and we are now expecting to begin rehearsals in January 2026 at the brand-new Olympia Recreation Center.
The Recreation Department is in the process of placing new Resident Lifestyle Groups into their rooms, and I’ve been told that Open Door Band will be included in the leaders’ meeting for Olympia in early December. At that meeting, I’ll sign the official permit and confirm our exact rehearsal day and time.
Until then, please note that nothing is finalized yet, but everything is on track for a January launch.
The official schedule will be known before the end of December.
In the meantime, I’ve already met so many residents who are excited about joining a supportive, beginner-friendly concert band. Whether you’re returning to music after years away or starting fresh, this group is designed to help you learn, grow, and enjoy making music together in a relaxed, structured environment.
If you’re curious or would like to be kept in the loop, I’d love for you to join the interest list:
(You’ll receive updates as soon as new information becomes available.)
Thank you for all the support and enthusiasm so far. It’s been a joy building this community from the ground up, and I cannot wait to welcome you through the “open door” in January. 🎶💚
