Hi,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend. A huge thank you to those who represented the Westport Community Band so well and to Sue Schaefer for coordinating! The parade is by far our largest audience. It is not too early to mark your calendar for next year and it is great fun for the whole family.

Blue Moon
Fly Me to the Moon

If you are missing anything, please reach out to your section leader or let me know and I will. Sal is on a well deserved vacation. Our rehearsal will be in the capable hands of Ian and John. (Thank you!) Please pay attention to them as you would Sal and listen to their perspective and notes on our music.
We will also hold our annual meeting on Monday. We have board members up for reelection and have also received some nominations. It is not too late to nominate someone (or yourself). Please let me know if you are interested or discuss with your nominee and you can nominate during the meeting.
