Announcements and Music for Nov 22nd

We have confirmed École secondaire catholique Béatrice-Desloges (EBD) for our Fall Concert on Dec 6th at 7:30 pm. I’ve sent out an updated poster for those who are able to print a copy to advertise our performance. If you haven’t had an opportunity to sign the band list that was circulated this week, please do so on Tuesday or contact your Section Leader to confirm if you will be at the performance and the spelling of your name for the concert program. John is still looking for several volunteers for our concert.
