A place has been found for the Band to have a rehearsal on Tuesday October 19, beginning at 6:30 pm. The address is Hope United Church, 3055 Connaught Ave, Halifax. We will meet in the Sanctuary. There is parking, accessible from Young Street.
There will be no registration activity on this week. We will be checking out how things go. If everything is OK, we will be begin registration on Oct 26. New members will be charged $140 for the year. Previous members have a credit from 2019-2020.
There are rules under COVID-19 specifications that apply to our group. I am attaching the rules to this e-mail. People must show proof of full vaccination in order to participate. We will be creating a list of attendance and you will be asked to sign a consent form that allows us to keep a record of your vaccination status. Once this is done, it will not be necessary to show proof of vaccination each week.
Please contact me if you have questions or concerns.

Hi
Last week it was mentioned that the Band Executive needs your help in assessing the situation around band rehearsals this coming Fall.
I am sending a link to a survey about the band’s future. Please respond.

Hi Dave
Hope you are doing well. The world has changed since I last saw you – what a year + it has been.
Ron and I have put together another tour (to France this time) for the Maritime Community Ensemble. It is scheduled for the last part of July 2022. We sent an email out to community band directors and contacts, including HCB, but have heard that a number went to spam folders.
We are sending the notice out again in individual emails to make sure everyone that would like to participate hears about it. All community band players are welcome to join the trip.
Would you mind passing this email along to the Halifax Concert Band members.
Thanks so much, Mike Morrissey

Hi Everybody,
The Bella Rose Arts Centre is offering a Musical Theatre Triple Threat Program this summer. Details attached. If there’s anyone in your life who you think may be interested, please pass this along to them.
Hope to see you all in the Fall, Jane

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for the lovely and very thoughtful birthday cards. I appreciate all your well wishes and messages. For those of you who know me well, you know that I am a true crazy cat lady. I didn’t know that there were so many cat-themed cards out there!
Although the inoperable cancer has progressed throughout the body, I continue to fight it one day at a time with the moral support of a network of wonderful friends and family. Overall, I feel fine with the 20 chemo treatments and three radiation therapy treatments I have received since June 2020. The VG Dickson Building has become my home away from home!
I look forward to attending your concerts and seeing all of you, once the COVID dust settles. We will eventually get through this pandemic and get back to a “new normal”. I’m looking forward to a family reunion in PEI in June, hoping that the Atlantic bubble re-opens.
Take care and stay safe. Thanks again for the cards.
Michelle Gailey
