Full Band, Shortened Rehearsal Dec 13th
Despite our best efforts we have not been successful finding an alternate location for our Road Show on Tuesday. In discussions with both Fadi and Lisa we have decided that Lisa will run a full band, shortened rehearsal on Tuesday at our regular location at the regular time. We will be sight reading some new music planned for us for January and then ending early. We will hold a regular BAB at Broadway’s if anyone wants to join us for a quick, cold, refreshing beverage and some informal social interaction before heading home! I’ve attached a list of some of our new charts and an associated link for those who may wish to familiarize themselves to some of our pieces over the weekend. Knowing that only half of us were scheduled to be at the senior’s residence on Tuesday, I apologize for the last minute change and impact to your plans for next week. Our plans for Dec 20th remain unchanged below.
I’ve just received the final concert tally from our Treasurer. We did well in both advance and door ticket sales. We also received sponsorship from a local business. We gave away approx 40 free tickets to seniors and St Pete’s and St Matt’s high school band members.
