Dear Band,

Another very nice rehearsal – Thank You!

During rehearsal Debra Catron (flute) reminded me that we always play The Star Spangled Banner for this concert. She is correct – I forgot to include two selections, 007 This Is My Country and 533 The Star Spangled Banner (Concert Bb Version). Would you please include these songs in your notebook for Tuesday’s rehearsal and the concert.

Also, please note that the song order has been changed dramatically. We were going to end the program with The Longest Day, but after I heard the ending of Victory at Sea I decided to change the script and end with a victory. The new song order is listed below. I apologize for the confusion.

IMPORTANT: If you want to go to the band party at Elachee after the concert AND HAVE NOT SIGNED UP, YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, October 21, AT 5:00PM TO EMAIL ME. I am sure you understand that we must have a cut off time so the committee has time to make decisions.

Really looking forward to the concert – Please help with the publicity.

Richard
