Holiday Concert is almost here!!1

Hey Everyone,

Practice in the auditorium was great!! We really pulled a lot of things together and advanced as a whole. Remember: Our next practice is TOMORROW in the auditorium. I repeat, That's Tuesday December 11th Two-Thousand Seven. Don't forget to get tickets for your loved-ones ahead of time, and I'll try my hardest to post A mini-program that everyone can put in their folder. Make sure that if you don't have music, that you tell Mr. Gorst as soon as you can and get that fixed up. We don't need people frantically scurrying around looking for music just as Mr Gorst counts us in.

(allocated space for the program)

uniform:

-Black pants
-Black shoes
-Black socks
-White collared shirt
-Band vest

It's imperative that the people in the back row have uniforms this time. Everyone's on raisers this time and you'll stick out.

Also, Feel free to ask friends if they want tickets to see us play. They might be interested in seeing what the music program has to offer, and they might even like a few of the pieces.

The concert starts at 7:00, but the pre-show conversation starts at 6:30 and members of the band should be at the school by 5;00.If you don't think that you can make it, I suggest that you just stay at school and hang out with the rest of the band instead of showing up 20 minutes late. Having band members walking around and socializing gives the audience and visitors a chance to see that we're not just nerdy people who make noise, but we have personality also, but I digress.

The pre-show conversation is a great opportunity to inform our audience of what the music program does, and even learn a bit about the pieces. We'll try to get a certain someone to stop talking about John Williams before it begins to cut into concert time.

So just to recap. bring your music, show up on time, remember your uniform, practice on tuesday, and HELP BRING INSTRUMENTS BACK TO THE MUSIC ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it makes the whole thing go by faster and relieves strain on my decrepit spine. As much as you may want to go home and sleep, keep in mind that EVERYONE is thinking the exact same thing. It gets annoying when there's only 6 people dragging percussion down the hallway mumbling about how they would rather be in their comfy bed.

Sorry if I ramble on too much, but I just don't feel like forgetting anything; although I feel as if I have. Keep with the holiday spirit!! Remember: he's making a list and checking it twice. if you don't help set down, instead of getting that box of reeds, or that book of university level Trumpet music, YOU'RE GONNA GET COAL

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SPIRIT!!!!!!!
