Dear friends,
Thank you so much for yesterday’s concert. Hanging out with our attendees in the lobby afterwards, we received so many excellent comments of appreciation. In terms of passion and overall impact you nailed it again!
The program for the May concert is attached. It’s not necessarily carved in stone but this is most of it. Many of these tunes are already on our website. Programming is typically an ongoing process. We” ll likely consider a couple other tunes.
I’m looking forward to our next rehearsal which will be NEXT Thursday March 21. Please do not talk about it to others as a Memorial Day Concert but rather, emphasize the theme Celebrate! We are celebrating life! The American Legion is giving the band $2500 for this concert.so we’re also celebrating our veterans once again. So many of our veterans are Viet Nam vets so Miss Saigon fits nicely into the program. Mansions of the Lord is from the film We Were Soldiers which is about the Viet Nam War. I’m sure it will touch many hearts. We will likely have our largest attendance of veterans for this one. I will send out a detailed plan for the next rehearsal but be prepared to spend some significant time on Festive Overture.
I am so proud of who we are. We are truly a positive presence in the community and highly appreciated. Tomorrow I’ll be sending out another email with a significant step for us to take that will insure our future success. You rock!
Jim
