Great rehearsal last night. There wasn't even a lot of talking!
We will continue to rehearse at BCHS until they have our space renovated at the Government Center. Please take some time to look over Russian Christmas Music for the rehearsal on the 29th as we will spend much of our time working on it. Have a great week! Take care, Dave

Great job last night at Cooper High School. I thought things went extremely well!
We received many positive comments on the performance and it gave us outstanding exposure to the community. Brad Stewart, the Band Director at Cooper High School, said his students are bugging him about getting the Video Games piece and he thought Chester Overture was outstanding. Once again, I am so happy to be conducting the Florence Community Band and feel we get better every time we perform. Thanks for working hard last night at rehearsal.
I know we had to do alto of "digging in" on Chester, but it is coming along nicely. We should have a nice concert on October 26th. Don't forget that I have posted audio recordings of the music in our folder for you to use in preparation for rehearsals. I am adding a couple more today of music I will hand out on next Monday. Have a great week! Dave I just wanted to say how happy I am to be the Director of the Florence Community Band! I am having a blast and I hope you are as well.
I feel we get a little better every time we perform. Thanks for all of your hard work over the summer. Now, as we turn our attention to our fall and winter performances, I want to encourage you to be at rehearsal as often as you can. Bring a friend. Do some recruiting! The more the merrier! I have posted "listening examples" of the 4 pieces we will be performing at the Cooper High School Concert on October 19th at 7pm. You will receive those pieces this Monday. Give them a listen if you get the chance. Have a great week and weekend. It looks like a beautiful one. Take care, Dave Another great performance this past Saturday at Boone Woods.
The weather was perfect and the crowd was great! Thanks for your hard work and efforts. See you soon. 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! Florence Community Band
