Hi
We are going to have one final rehearsal on Monday December 6, beginning at 6:30 pm in the band room of Halifax West High School. We will go through all the pieces in the program. This is to be prepared for our Christmas Concert on Tuesday Dec 7 at St Agnes Church (6902 Mumford Road, Halifax) Please be there before 6:30 pm, entering through the front doors of the Church and proceeding to the Hall. Please bring your own stand (unless you are in the front row or in percussion) and a light if you have one and need one. Dress is formal black. Christmas accessories like ties and jewelry are OK. Hats and antlers are not OK.

Hello everyone:
Here are the information sheets I was telling you about. The most important one is “Information for Performers”. Read that first. Also attached is the band diagram for this show, a picture of the venue for newcomers and finally, a copy of the program.
     Thanks.       Mark C.

Hello everyone
The tunes are finalized now and we’ve addressed the technical aspects of all of the selections. On this next rehearsal, we will run the tunes in order. There will be limited stopping on these and maybe none at all. If we have time after this chore is accomplished, we’ll polish up the rough patches, should any exist (and I doubt that there will be, but who knows?).
Al-l-l-l-l of this needs to be done by 8:15, as it is legally necessary for us to hold an annual general meeting. That will be concluded by 8:30 in all likelihood, because, since the last meeting, very little business has happened because of the pandemic. That means that reports will be very short and not likely to be debated.
A reminder: We have a dress rehearsal on Monday, December 6 at 6:30 in the band room for them that can make it.
Logistical items will need to be addressed for a few minutes this Tuesday in regards to transportation, set up and tear down and such. Look for that around 7:30. Should only take a few minutes to get this together.
That’s it for now, folks. See you Tuesday.

Hi
I am sending you various documents for the Annual Meeting of the Halifax Concert Band on Tuesday November 30, beginning around 8:15 pm. The Annual Meeting is a requirement to maintain our status as a Charitable Society. Thanks for your attention to these documents.

On the next rehearsal, these things will happen:
The next rehearsal for the Halifax Concert Band is on Tuesday November 23 at 6:30 pm in the Halifax West bandroom.
After the warm up routine, we will review key issues with:
Christmas Spirit Fanfare C’est Noel On This Day Earth Shall Ring.
Next, we’ll review Perla’s 2 Songs
For the rest of the rehearsal, the tunes will be called in order of importance and technical issues and balance issues will be addressed. I guess that all of this rhetoric means that all of us should strive to have the tough passages “under our fingers” by this next rehearsal.
Don’t feel intimidated about asking me how “something goes”. I’ll help you out.
I think that things are shaping up well and this show should be a major success. The next 2 rehearsals are for refining the material.
Speaking of rehearsals, we are arranging to have a dress rehearsal for those who can attend on December 6^th . In the band room, starting at 6:30. More details to come.
Thanks, everyone. M.C.

There will be a Halifax Concert Band Annual Meeting on Tuesday November 30 at 8:15 pm. Rehearsal will be a bit shorter that evening.
