The Local Skinny! Vance Granville Community Band Plans Christmas Concert

/by

Press “pause” on your holiday decorating and shopping for about an hour on Monday, Dec. 12 and head over to McGregor Hall – Brian Miller says you won’t be disappointed.

Miller conducts the Vance Granville Community band, which will be performing a free community concert beginning at 7:30 p.m.

He understands the importance of timing – he’s been a high school band instructor for 30 years – and he said he always remembers advice his Mom gave him: “Keep it short. Make the audience want more, not wish the thing were over,” he told John C. Rose on Monday’s segment of The Local Skinny!

“We’re not going to keep you long,” Miller said, adding that the performance would be “an evening of nostalgic enjoyment.”

Selections include holiday music, but there are sure to be some toe-tappin’ favorites, including some good ol’ fashioned band marches and an overture based on folk songs from Mexico as well. And who knows? Miller said there just may be a special visitor at the end of the concert.

“We’re a very traditional band playing very traditional music,” Miller said, adding that “bands should play marches and traditional things – things that sound good!”

The band consists of about 30 members, and Miller said they’re always looking for more.

“We’d love to have you join us,” he said. Ages range from students all the way up to “folks in very much their adult years.”

Practice takes place on Monday evenings, from 7 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m. and will resume after the holidays at VGCC’s Main Campus in Henderson.

The Local Skinny! Animal Services Gets $13K For Spay/Neuter Program

/by

Thanks to a donation of $13,000 from a nonprofit dog rescue group, the Vance County Animal Services is able to offer free spay and neuter services for dogs and cats in the area.

Frankie Nobles, chief of Vance County Animal Services, said the gift came from the Mona Pants Foundation, a 501c3 organization that is based in Zebulon.

According to information from animal services, residents who turn in a litter of puppies or kittens to the shelter can have their intact dog or cat spayed or neutered at no charge.

Feral or otherwise unowned cats can be spayed or neutered as well as part of a trap-neuter-release effort. And any animals that are brought to the shelter can be spayed or neutered at no charge to the owner in lieu of having to pay fees for reclaiming or redeeming them.

In addition to providing a free service for individuals with pets living in the community, the additional spay and neutering program likely will reduce the number of unwanted animals being dropped off at the shelter.
