We will play rain or shine.  If there is a threat of rain we will move into the sanctuary and use our folding stands. For those that are new to playing at the lakeside, the venue is to the right as you’re facing the front of the church. Just follow the sidewalk and path down the hill. You can’t miss it. There are no restroom facilities at lakeside so take care of that before you walk down the hill. If anyone needs assistance, there will be a golf cart available.

Here are some links to recordings to help you practice the music for the June 26 Patriotic concert:

Ron Foster has put a recording of our last concert (American Musical Road trip) online for everyone’s listening pleasure.

Thank you and may God Bless!  See you Sunday!!
