Announcements and Music for Nov 17th, 24th and Christmas Concert
This week Anna and I dropped into Leading Note and picked up a set of books called Yamaha Christmas Ensembles. The seven books are each written for a different instrument such as E flat Alto Sax / Baritone Sax, Horn in F, Flute / Oboe, B flat Tenor Sax, etc. The set includes music for 19 different Christmas Carols and are very simply written; would not take long to rehearse and could possibly be sight read on the spot. Over the next few days we’re hoping to scan the music so that it is avail to all within the band as easily and quickly as possible. I will bring several of the books to rehearsal for you to look over or you can let us know and we will send you the link to the applicable book. We also established a GCCB account, which entitles us to a 10% discount on any purchases made at Leading Note.
Several of us met this week at Beatrice Desloges HS to take a look at our facilities and meet some of the staff there. Although we still have several details to sort out with the high school we are confidant that the facilities will more than need our needs.
We are in urgent need of someone to take the lead on producing tickets for our Christmas Concert. The tickets do not need to be a work of art! Please contact Cindy as soon as possible if you are interested.
