[BBCB-Mail] Welcome July

[Smile8A at aol.com]

Hello All,
 
Just a reminder to all we are going to be at Squires for our final rehearsal 
before July 4th. If you need directions please don't hesitate to contact me or 
any of the board members.
 

The parade on July 4th, starts at 2:00 pm at the Old Blacksburg Middle School 
on South Main Street. You can meet us there at 1:20 pm, or 1:00 pm at the 
Community Center on Patrick Henry Drive (across from the High School). The truck 
will meet us at 1:10 pm at the Community Center so we will need to be ready to 
board at that time. When we arrive at the Old Middle School at 1:20, we will 
quickly decorate the trailer and prepare for the parade. I will have the music 
for the parade (Stars and Stripes Forever). The trailer will drop us off back 
at the Community Center. Don't forget to bring your lyres and sunscreen.

Don't forget about our Picnic at 4:00 after the parade.
This year we are buying fried chicken for the band and please plan to bring a 
side dish.
We will have paper products, tea and water for all. You might want to bring 
chairs or a blanket for the picnic. 
Our concert is at 6:00 pm. We will be setting up earlier in the afternoon, 
but we will need to get situated at the concert location around 5:15 pm. Don't 
forget your stands.
The dress for all 4th of July events is white shirts and kakki/tan pants or 
shorts.
 

As I had mentioned, don't forget Bruce McGarvey will be playing a recital on 
Thursday, July 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the Blacksburg Baptist Church. A reception 
is planned afterward at his home.
The program will be taken from this repertoire:
Cahuzac - "Variations sur un air du Pays d'Oc" for clarinet and piano
Lewin - Mvt 2 from "Views of the Blues" for two clarinets
Tomasi - "Sonatine Attique" for solo clarinet
Schickele - "Elegies" for clarinet and piano
Mendelssohn - "Concertpiece in F Minor," op. 113, No. 1 for two
clarinets and piano
Katschka - "First Prelude for Clarinet for Clarinet and Piano"
Dubois - "Neuf Impromptus" for clarinet and piano
Shocker - "Sonata II" for clarinet and piano
Cara Modisett will be the pianist, David Niethamer (Professor of
Clarinet at the University of Richmond and retired principal clarinetist of 
the
Richmond Symphony)will be performing the Mendelssohn with Cara and me, and
Elizabeth Bowles will be his duet partner for the Lewin.
Also, this will be the first public performance of Gustav Katschka's
"First Prelude for Piano and Clarinet."
Everyone is welcome, try to attend.
 
I have CD's of the Spring Concert for all interested. Good listening!!!!
 
This Wed nite will be our final rehearsal of the year but don't forget about 
our concerts on July 22nd and August 2nd. More info to follow.
