Community bands are going strong throughout the country, and the Northwoods has its very own. The well-known Rhinelander Area Community Band, featuring dedicated musicians from teens to seniors, brings its fall concert to the Nicolet stage this year with a lively, varied program to please all ages. 
Tai Chi has been proven to increase balance and prevent falls. The discipline improves joint movement and strengthens the core muscles as well as the legs and arms. The class is held on a donation basis. Wear sturdy shoes that tie, such as tennis shoes, and bring a water bottle. Please Note: There will NOT be a class on Nov. 5th.
