Dear Believers Band,

This is the plan for the Lakeside Service on Sunday, May 31st.  

Dress:

Blue “Believers Band” polo shirt (Contact Betty Foster, if you do not have one)

Khaki pants (Capris, skirts, or shorts)

Baseball cap, optional (Be mindful of what the cap says) 

Jacket (Optional – depends on weather)

Sunglasses

Bring:

Instrument

Music

Music stand

Stand light – if we move into the sanctuary because of the weather

Clothespins – to hold your music if it is windy.  

Water – we get thirsty!

Schedule:

7:45 Arrive at GFUMC – Set-up (Percussion and helpers, please arrive at 7:30)

7:55 Be in your seats 

8:00 – 8:20 Warm-up and tune

8:25 Be in your seats

8:27 Service Begins – Not in this order

119 – Slane

200 – Crown Him with Many Crowns

209 – To God Be the Glory

588 – Choral Prelude

Now Thank We All Our God (Nun danket alle Gott) – See roadmap below – If you were not at our last rehearsal, please see the attached to print your part.  Clarinets, please play the Bb Trumpet part not the Clarinet/Tenor Sax part you received at rehearsal.

We will play rain or shine.  If there is a threat of rain, we will move into the sanctuary. For those that are new to playing at the lakeside, the venue is to the right as you’re facing the front of the church. Just follow the sidewalk and path down the hill. You can’t miss it. There are no restroom facilities at lakeside so take care of that before you walk down the hill. Let us know if you need assistance.

Thank you and may God Bless!  See you Sunday!

David
