Hi everyone – just a few things before we get together tomorrow evening!
I just wanted to clarify that the address to the venue should be 70 Grandhaven Blvd – I mistakenly  said it was 50 but that’s my apartment Bldg number – sorry about that. The clubhouse is a separate building and not in one of the apartment buildings.
If your dish needs a serving spoon, knife, tongs etc please bring it with you – we have everything else!
Any parking outside the clubhouse or parking lots is ok to park in,
See you tomorrow
Andrea

Hi all,
Thank you all for such a fine performance on Tuesday night at our annual Spring Finale. I think that may come in as one of the longest so far….1 hour and 45 minutes! Just to say again, I really am impressed with all of the dedication, hard work, skilful musicianship and great commitment that you all bring to the Halifax Concert Band and it is a pleasure to be working with you throughout our season.
Mark Cuming’s tribute was a beautiful moment and I know that all members of Mark’s family in attendance were so appreciative and thankful for our performance of his music and respect for his legacy.
I hope to see you all at the potluck on Tuesday!!  (50 Grandhaven Blvd, Halifax, in the clubhouse.)
Take care. Dave

Hi all,
Our Spring Finale concert on Tuesday, June 3rd, is on the stage of the Bella Rose Theatre and will start at 7 pm.
Any members who have volunteered to help set up the stage with chairs and stands are asked to be ready to do that by 6 pm with all remaining members asked to arrive no later than 6:15. Dress for the concert is black everything with band shirts and also, a reminder to bring a clip-on stand light to help with reading if you so desire.
I will be sending MC notes (in a separate email by Monday night) to those members who have volunteered to introduce our pieces. Thanks and see you on Tuesday night for our Finale.
I am really looking forward to it!
Take care Dave
