Dear Band:
I am excited for the upcoming Veterans Day Performance!
We just found out that the Christmas on Green Street Performance (Sunday, December 8) has been cancelled by the Fire Marshall because the water will not be on in the building.
Next Tuesday is our dress rehearsal for the concert on Sunday, November 10. Please get there as early as possible to help set up and warmup for the rehearsal which will be from 6:00-7:45?pm. Joel Williams will be there to rehearse “The Greatest Generation” and “Nimrod.” Be sure to practice all of the music but give extra focus to “Band of Brothers” and “Ghost Fleet.” There may be a video recording made of part of this rehearsal to post on facebook. If you can, wear red, white, and blue.
Here is the order for the concert (with recordings to practice with):
- 533 The Star-Spangled Banner
