Well, folks, it’s been… a week. Nothing bad, just not quite myself. Hence the inexcusable delay in getting this out.
This week is back at Bourkevale!!
It’s also a Dress Rehearsal, which means the usual process is adjusted. We’ll run the concert program in the first half with (ideally) no stopping. After the break, we’ll spot-rehearse to fix up what needs fixing. (You’re ready for this!)
Concert Details
Our concert will be Tuesday, July 1 (Canada Day) at St. James Kiwanis Courts – 90 Sinawik Bay. Please arrive at 2:30 pm so we can get ourselves set up. Group warm up will start at 2:50 pm, and the performance proper kicks off at 3:00 pm. This will be an outdoor performance (unless weather is inclement – then we’ll be inside) so please do show up.
If you cannot make the performance (and have not already told us), please email us at info@mbmillenniumband.com. We will need to ensure key part coverage.
Uniforms
The new Millennium Band shirts come to every rehearsal and are available for $25. It is not mandatory, but if you’re interested, we have them available. (Our uniforms are black bottoms, and in order of preference: forest green tops, black tops).
