As always (I’m so spoiled!), your efforts at rehearsal this week were above and beyond. While mistakes will happen, the key is how we can recover from them. I am convinced that we are all ready for this! In fact, I think this is the most ready we’ve ever been for our first concert – certainly, within my tenure. I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished this year! So, let’s have a blast next week!
Our first concert takes place at: Lindenwoods Terrace – 490 Lindenwood Drive East.
There is parking available across the street. I seem to recall that the lot on the building side is pretty small.
Dress is BLACK BOTTOMS and Millennium t-shirt (forest green short-sleeve shirt or black short-sleeve shirt).
Please make every effort to be there for 6:30 pm. There are a lot of us, so the band shuffle will take longer than usual! Warm-up begins at 6:55 pm, and our first piece will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
This is the Place with Posts, so if we’re playing inside, they will need to be taken into consideration when it comes to seating – we will likely be spread quite widely. If the weather is fine and not too hot, (i.e. safe for the residents), we may play outside under the pergola, in which case, we’ll be narrow and deep in terms of our seating. Either is possible, so please bring your clothespins, plexiglass, or whatever music securing devices you have at your disposal, but don’t be disappointed if they set us up indoors.
Concert order is:
Bb Concert Scale (we’ll probably play this twice)
51 – Entrance of the Gladiators
66 – Arctic Fire
63 – Hallelujah
65 – Moana
5 – Broadway Journey
54 – The Drunken Sailor
8 – Themes Like Old Times
7 – Swing the Mood
Let’s have a fantastic time!
See you on Wednesday!
