Greetings friends!
I’ll be out of town Saturday-Wednesday so I want to touch base with you about summer rehearsals and our upcoming concert on Thursday evening August 8 at River Ridge Mall. We will perform in air conditioned comfort a short program of light popular pieces.
We only have 6 rehearsals to prepare but with the easier nature of this program I’m sure we’ll be ready. Once we nail down the program we’ll spend some time on some of the meatier pieces for next year and prepare for the Generations Concert.
Summer typically means that people will be absent at times for family vacations. Please let me know when you will be absent prior to that date.
Please take your commitment to the band seriously. Consider Thursday night your night with your friends to make music. One should never base their attendance on something like "Well, I’ve had a tiring day. I’m going to skip out tonight." I hope you do not consider Thursday night a chore but something to look forward to. Rehearsals are THERAPY. I designed my trip out of town to Montana this coming week to be back for rehearsal next Thursday night. I’ll never let you down. Other than personal sickness or a family emergency everyone should be present at all rehearsals.
