Hi
I will collect Christmas music after the concert. You should keep your regular music folder and in January, I will hand out the new music in envelopes by instrument. If you still have an envelope please hand it in with the Christmas music. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at: mailto:thirdzebra@yahoo.ca
Thank you,
Debbie

Hi all,
We will be having our dress rehearsal Monday night, Dec. 2nd at 6:30 pm at the West band room. The running order will be the actual concert program order which I am including below. I would also like to run through the Prelude music with members of the Low Brass Ensemble at the end of the rehearsal (8:15 to 8:30).
After the rehearsal, we will need to load some vehicles with percussion equipment so I would ask that all percussionists please stay to help with this at 8:30.
For Tuesday, Dec. 3rd the set up in the church (St Agnes on Mumford Road) is scheduled for 2 pm and we can use any help that people can provide if you are available at that time.
The concert itself is at 7 pm and I’ll ask members to arrive in the church hall for 6:15 for assembly and warm-up. Dress is formal concert black and members are asked to bring your own music stand. Front row members will be using the black music stands with banners.
