Hello All,
Upcoming concerts:
The Children's Concert at Stepping Stones in Norwalk is on June 23rd at 2:00 PM. There is a need for a smaller group for this concert as the stage size is a restricting factor. 35 to 40 players maximum. We will perform music geared to a younger audience which will feature marches, energetic selections, and music that will engage movement... I'll figure that out as soon as our April 7th concert is over!!
Our concert at the Weston Library is on Saturday, June 29th at 1:30 PM on the lawn at the library. We will perform with as many players who are available and interested in playing. This is a great public relations opportunity as well as one more chance to play together this season. Please check your calendars and I will poll the band next week to see what kind of instrumentation we have.
We are playing at the Weston 4th of July Fireworks event again this year for the 27th (or so) consecutive year. That event is a 5:15 call for a 6:00 Downbeat. The Weston Fireworks day is a wonderful event and our players and families can play and then stay for the show for free.
Our final concert of the season will be at the Levitt Pavilion Concert is Tuesday, July 9th
Performance at 7:00 PM, Call: 6:15 PM. There will be one final rehearsal before that concert at either the pavilion or another location depending upon weather and facility availability. More information on this as we get closer.
No rehearsal this Monday, see you Monday, April 22...and you know what's on the musical menu for next week!! See you then!!
