I’m feeling very comfortable about our next performance (July 24 at Lindenwoods Terrace).
End of Season Barbecue – Save the Date
Mark your calendars! The 2nd annual Millennium Band (and Friends) Wind-up Barbecue will be held on Saturday, August 30th starting at 2 pm (until whenever). One of our members (who will not be doxxed) has offered to host in her spacious backyard. (Spoiler alert: it’s the same place as last year). This will be a partially pot luck event. Cost will be $5 per person (to help cover supplies including protein).
Please reach out to info@mbmillenniumband.com if there are special dietary requirements or allergies (e.g. vegetarian, etc).
More details to follow (including RSVP date).
Baba Yetu
As promised at our last rehearsal, I’m including some links for those who are interested in some additional context for Baba Yetu.
Here’s the previously shared link to the recording of the arrangement we’re playing.
Here’s the previously shared link to the Civilization IV trailer, featuring Baba Yetu.
Here’s a link to the video of a performance conducted by Christopher Tin in 2017 in Wales.
