These cold winter days are a great time to discover talent in your own community. Stop by the Mill this Saturday 1:15-3pm for Music in the Commons: Oakland Mills High School's annual concert. Featuring performances by the Tri-M Music Honor Society and the Modern Band Ensemble. - - Savage Mill
From the event page:
The Oakland Mills High School Tri-M Music Honor Society consists of student musicians at the school who seek to support and advocate for music performance within their school and greater community.
The Oakland Mills High School Modern Band Ensemble consists of various advanced musicians within the school, selected through audition only.
Musical selections will be wide-ranging, and include options such as AWB, Frankie Beverly, Tom Misch, SunKissed Lola, The Isley Brothers, Mint Condition, Amy Winehouse, Silk Sonic, Frank Sinatra, Prince, Bill Withers, The Temptations, and others!
Modern Band is a relatively new movement in music education and is drawing in students who haven’t been reached by traditional music programs. It’s pretty amazing. If you’re over that way today, pop in and let me know what you think.
Also today, Howard County Recreation and Parks is sponsoring a book exchange:

Join us from 10am-5pm on Saturday, February 22 at The Ellicott City Colored School Restored for a free book swap for children. At this free book exchange, books ranging in topics (examples: nature, comics, history, and education) will be available for readers of all ages, including parents/guardians. Participate in a book discussion on the novel “What Storm, What Thunder” by Myriam J. A. Chancy, sponsored by the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center. The Q&A will be between 2:30-4pm. (Free copies of the book will be available for attendees.)
Receive a canvas bag to collect, trade, and network with other book hunters as you share the books you love. Choose from hundreds of books. Bring 1-3 gently used or new books as gifts for another family, donations, or trades. The department has curated 18 new books highlighting nature, friendships, diversity, and historical stories.
This event is indoors with possible tables outside. Parking is very limited. Additional parking is available at the St. Peter’s Episcopal Church auxiliary lot across the street.
Tonight the Howard County Library System will be celebrating 85 years at their Evening in the Stacks fundraising event. I wish them well! If you are going I hope you have a wonderful time. If gala fundraising events aren’t your style, here are some easy ways to support local libraries.
