Halloween is just around the corner, and we're getting ready for a morning of spooky fun in Winchester! Join FAN + Winchester Recreation & Community Education on Saturday, October 24th for our annual Halloween Bash!

We're looking for woodwind, brass, percussion, ukulele, guitar, bass and other instrumentalists to play spooky themed music to kick off this fun town-wide event. No marching is required - we'll play standing in place. Costumes are welcome. This event takes place in the Jenks Center parking lot, across from Town Hall. We'll meet at 10:00 AM in the parking lot for a quick run through rehearsal and play at 10:30 AM. Pick up your music parts in the front office once you've signed up to perform.

We can't wait to see you at the Griffin Museum for an evening with Henry Horenstein, one of the artists featured in Common Time: American Musicality. Henry's long love of music, and especially country music, will be the topic of the presentation on Thursday November 5th, 2026, starting at 6.30pm

The evening opens with a look back at where it all began: how Henry's love of history led him to the camera, and how he came to see image making as a record of time and culture, a way to preserve the memory of people and places too easily forgotten.
