Hi all,
Just a corrected memo about Kermesse as a reminder of Saturday’s performance. Also please note that there will be a “dress” rehearsal on Monday, May 27 at 6:30 pm in the band room.
Details for our Kermesse performance on Saturday, May 25th are as follows:
The performance starts at 10 am in the outside courtyard by the Atrium doors on the Robie Street side. There is parking in the IWK parkade (free for Kermesse Day) or on the surrounding streets. Members please arrive by no later than 9:30 am and bring your own folding stand for the performance. Also, bring clothes pins or clips to keep the music from blowing away and sunscreen and hats to protect from the sun. Dress is the HBC Band golf shirts and black pants/skirts. Shorts are fine if the weather allows. There is no alternate venue for inclement weather so if it rains, the event will be cancelled. We will have to play that by ear on Saturday but please check your email early that day to see if a message has been sent regarding cancellation.
Our set lists and timings are as follows:
