Dear friends,
Nobody was more disappointed than me with the cancellation of these two rehearsals, but don’t think we’re not moving forward! I have been to the Community Market twice this week planning for us to do a concert there in September. It will be about 30 minutes long and feature music of a tutti style-mostly full band music that will be easier to keep together in the "open-air" environment.
Secondly, I met with Danny Moore yesterday about the Christmas Concert. Since we have the outstanding Daryl Duff secured we can now "build" our program around him. Here is a partial listing of tunes for Christmas:
Come Celebrate With Joy by Danny Moore, arr. by Jim Meredith
Sleigh Ride
Ukrainian Bell Carol
The Angels’ Carol
A Christmas Festival (to be handed out)
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (arr. Chris Sharp)
The Christmas Song
O’ Holy Night-Daryl Duff solo
You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch-Daryl
Christmas in the Islands-Daryl
Suggestions are welcome as long as we don’t repeat carols.
Jim
