MUSIC
Here are the tunes that we will need in our folders as we complete the season... We won't necessarily play everything here but I will be choosing from the titles below. I will be sending out a couple of new things as well, so keep your eyes peeled!! Please let me know which of them that you need copies to and I will send them out as I receive the requests. The Water is Wide and Life Eternal will be sent to everyone.
And once again... If you are receiving these emails in error please let me know so that I can more easily maintain an up to date database!!
Be Well, and enjoy your week off!! (remember, no rehearsal next week, April 10th!)

Fellow Band Members,
A few reminders for the end of our outstanding playing season. First of all, we are looking for a few people to join us on the Westport Community Band Board of Directors. The board is instrumental in assisting Sal in the running of the band’s yearly activities. The salary is less than next to nothing, but the rewards are knowing that a job is well done. Please consider joining us in next years planning. If you are interested, you can reply to this email or talk to one of the board members at a rehearsal. We will have our annual end of the year meeting at our rehearsal on Monday June 12th
Next, a reminder that if you need a polo shirt, please let Lisa (alto sax) know May 16th at lbrodlie64@gmail.com. She wants to get the order in so that they are here in a timely manner for our year end performances. You will need one for the 4th of July and our Levitt Pavilion performances. The cost is $42.50 and payable when you receive your shirt. Also, you may need a red web belt and they are also available from Lisa and the cost $6.00.
