Dear Band,

Happy New Year!!!!

I look forward to working with you again in 2013.

I am sure that sometimes you have wondered why you are playing your horn again and with the Believers Band. You have probably also wondered if it is worth all the time, effort and commitment.

I would like to share my favorite answer from 2012 with you, it goes like this, “It was so nice entering the sanctuary and hearing Christmas Carols being played. You make a difference. Thank you. M….” Thank you band, you made a difference in this person’s life and others! I wish that I could put a value to what you are worth to the people whose lives and spirits you have lifted.

Following is a partial list of music that we will play in January 2013. Please download any music you need. Parker said that he will have all of the new music on the web by noon today, January 1. (Please note that we are retiring the old songs for numbers 102, 124, 125,138, 153 and 174.)

Also following is a copy of instructions, from Wayne Stradley (clarinet), as to how you can download the audio files for each of the selections. Thanks Wayne, for the extra work.

We had such a good year in 2012 that it would be a shame not to try and get better in 2013. Let’s together move up another notch!

Thanks, band, for what you do and who you are.

Have a Happy New Year. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, January 8, 2013, 6:00 pm.

Richard
