[BBCB-Mail] Concert Reminders & Set Lists

[Ed Schwartz]

Greetings All!

I would like to thank those of you who came out for the Armed Forces 
Day Concert. We had great weather and a very appreciative audience. I 
do appreciate all of you who made a special effort to attend!

We will run through the music on Wednesday for the XYZ concert on 
Thursday. Below is the list of music that I intend to program for the 
concert. Remember, we will be inside and setting up during their 
program, so we need to set up quietly. If you plan to eat, be there 
at 6:00 pm (I think that it is $7 these days). Everyone else, be 
there at 6:30 pm. Don't forget your music, stands, and instruments. 
Dress is khaki and white.

Also, don't forget that a week from Monday is Memorial Day. We will 
be performing at the Warm Hearth Gazebo at 10:45 am. I repeat, the 
downbeat is 10:45 am, so please be there by 10:15 am. We play for 15 
minutes prior to the ceremony and then at times throughout the 
ceremony. We should be done by noon. Below is the set list for 
Memorial Day.

I really hope that you all can make this short ceremony. It is an 
important concert for the community and there will be veterans from 
WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Gulf War, our current conflicts, as well 
as town dignitaries in attendance.

Thanks!

- Ed -
