Dear Band,
Just a couple of reminders…
Not all men have returned their purple band ties from the Sousa Concert. Might as well keep them for the concert on the 29th, but don’t leave them at home!! I don’t have that many in the storage box.
Remember. Black dress/skirt blouse and shoes for the women and black slacks, shirt, socks and shoes for the men
No dinner for this concert, so:
Call time:
4:30 pick-up of percussion equipment, podium and extra chairs and stands from Heritage
5:00 arrival at the Academy with the Percussion equipment, podium and extra chairs and stands
set up stage, mics and monitors
6:00 band ready on stage, tuned and ready for warm-up and run-through
6:45 leave stage for green room (multi-purpose room) water only no dinner required tonight
7:30 performance
8:45 stage tear down and loading of truck with percussion, podium, extra chairs and stands.
enter the Academy through the front doors or through the stage door facing 5th street
Ticket sales are SLOW….. please, talk it up, invite family and friends, post and repost on social media ALOT in these last few weeks. It is much more fun playing to a full house. There is a great deal more energy that passes from the audience to the band and vice-versa. Please, do your part.
I hope you have been listening a realize how good we are sounding! Time to share this with the world !!
Plans underway for a Summer Concert at the outdoor amphitheater at Randolph College. Beautiful setting.
See you Thursday!
