Great job finding KSAS and having a successful rehearsal last week. We welcome Dale (bassoon) and Deb (clarinet) to the band.
We have been asked to perform at “GLOW” which is at Volcano Stadium in Keizer. It is a Holiday celebration with Santa, food vendors, etc. We would be playing on a covered stage. It goes on from November 28 through December 30. I have tentatively committed to December 3 (our normal rehearsal night). We could just play there and not at KSAS. I’ll ask for your input tomorrow. We are also scheduled to play at Willamette Lutheran Home on Thursday, December 11. From 6-7 pm.
Tricia (flute) suggested that since we are stopping at 8:15 that we should try to start rehearsal at 6:45. So let’s try to start earlier. Don’t worry, there is no fine for being late.
Brass players please remember to bring a cloth, bowl, towel, etc. for draiinig you horns.
On a very sad note. Rob Magee has passed away. Rob was an outstanding trombone player and entertainer. He was a member of the Keizer Community Band for several years. You might have seen him playing trombone in downtown Salem by the Parkade.
