Hi all,
Our concert is at 7 pm on Tuesday on the stage of the Bella Rose. I am asking the stage setup volunteers to come in for 6 pm to set the stage. The rest of the band are asked to arrive at the band room no later than 6:15. Doors open at 6:30. We will assemble on the stage at 6:45. The band will use the Halifax West band room to assemble and to warm-up and the Bedford Brass Quintet will be in the Green Room (next door) for their assembly/warm-up. Dress for the concert is all-black (not casual) with a reminder to wear a poppy if you choose.
HCB performs first (at 7) with the following order of selections.
Three Ayres from Gloucester Waltz in the Old Style A Scottish Rhapsody We Want It All Praeludium
After our set, we will have to strike the stage to a certain degree to create a good space for the Bedford Brass Quintet’s set-up and I will provide instructions for that at the time. They will finish the concert with their set and their selections will be listed in the program.
I am also including a link to the Chronicle Herald article announcing the concert and would like to thank Don Doyle very much for all his arrangements with this and also for doing up posters and printed programs.

Hi
Andrew is a clarinet player who lives in the Morris-Barrington area of Halifax. Thanks to Donna and Steve, he has been getting transportation to rehearsal each week. However, after our concert in November, they will not be able to do this. Is there anyone who is willing to help Andrew get to rehearsal each week? If so, please contact Andrew through e-mail at clarinette496@gmail.com
Thanks Bob
