Great job tonight!  Sorry I didn't program enough tunes for the concert.  Remember, I'm still learning.  I feel we are getting a little better each performance.

Great rehearsal last night.  I felt we got quite a bit worked out for our upcoming performances.  I will be sending out the performance list for July 3rd today and then follow that up with a tentative list for the Boone Woods and Presidents Park in August.

What a great performance last night at Elsmere Baptist Church.  The weather was perfect and the audience was very appreciative of our efforts.  I spoke with a couple of veterans, after the performance, and they were so touched by Armed Forces Medley.  That's truly what it's all about in my book.

We will be working on the music for the July 3rd Concert at the June 26th rehearsal.  I will send that in an email for your preparation.

​Great job to everyone and thanks to all who were there.  See you soon!

Great job on the Memorial Day performances.  We received many congratulations and kind comments on how well we did.
Thanks to all of you that worked behind the scenes to get the parade and concert performances setup.
​I'm looking forward to the Elsmere Concert!

​Thanks for a great rehearsal last night!  I have attached the set-lists for the next 2 performances.


Please look over the following:

• get your music in order BEFORE you arrive to the performance
• give yourself plenty of time to get to the site at the listed report time
• if you are performing in the parade, they are meeting at 8:00am to decorate

if you did not sign-up on the sheet telling us you were going to be at either of these performances, I need to hear from you immediately

I think that is about it.

Have a great rest of the week and I'll see you on Monday!

Take care,
Dave
