Dear Band,
One of the best musicians in the area gave us a nice compliment Tuesday – In her words, “we sounded like a really fine band!” You have continued to raise your level of play, Thanks!
Reminders for Sunday:
The dress is concert black.
Please bring your stands for warm up.
Music order follows.
FIRST ENCORE IS DIXIE LAMENT STARTING AT “H”
The SECOND Encore will be God Bless America # 418, we will start with a drum roll and the band will start playing at MEASURE 19.
Set up at 12:30 (NOTE: We will re-set the choir loft on Monday at 9:30 -HELP?)
Please remind your contacts to brave the possible bad weather – the music and experience will be worth it.
I would also urge you to stay for the reception and mingle with the re-enactors and audience.
We are going to have a great time Sunday. I am very proud to be your director.
NEXT WEEK’S MUSIC is also listed below. We will start on the music for Lakeside Worship, on May 17 and June 14 as well as the music for the Patriotic Concert on June 28. I have not prepared my lesson plan for the rehearsal yet, so please bring all of the “Music For Summer 2015” listed below to rehearsal Tuesday.
Be safe and see you Sunday.
