• Nancy Norris Listening Library 

    In the spring of 2010, the Hobart Band was awarded a grant from the School City of Hobart Educational Foundation and a gift from Gibralter Design Co. in memory of the Nancy Norris, former Hobart bandsmen and school board member.  Ipods, headphones, and one-hundred of the most historically significant jazz albums were purchased to develop our first collection of professional recordings for educational use.

    Donations of albums or original compact discs (not copies) can be made to the Hobart High School Band.
