NCB: Home for the Holidays 2025 - Christmas Celebrations and Traditions

It’s the Season for Cherished Holiday Traditions

and Joyful Celebrations! 

Members of the Northshore Concert Band family have traditions that make the holidays truly special. While they share the same stage, each musician brings their own harmony of cherished memories and seasonal traditions that give this time of year its magic.

This special rendition of The 12 Days of Christmas was created five years ago, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. NCB member Joe Schorer (trombone), along with his wife Millie and son Nick, produced a video version of the song, featuring many verses contributed by fellow NCB members.
