[Blgspops] December rehearsal info

[Jacquie Ziegler]

Hi everyone!

Okay, AFTER this week's break for turkey dinner, we'll meet next week - 
Dec 5 - at 1st Congregational Church.
This is the same place we did our Rock N Roll Concert a couple of years 
ago, and where we have rehearsed before.

Address is:

310 N 27th St
Billings

It is across the street from City Hall and kitty-corner from the County 
Courthouse. There is an elevator on the upper level that goes to the 
basement where the fellowship hall is that we will be rehearsing in. 
There is a ramp up to the front doors if you need to use that instead of 
the stairs.

Parking is available on the street and there is a bank parking lot on 
the other side of the block that should be open after banking hours. 
Rehearsal starts at 7, Julie Solberg will be there to let us in a bit 
before that - time not set yet, but I hope at least 15 minutes!

We'll be working on our Christmas program, of course, and Janie Rife 
Sutton is planning on being with us to work on 'O Holy Night' as she is 
the soloist for that piece.

After looking over the space available at Rimrock Mall, and discussing 
the idea further with John, we really don't have any good rehearsal time 
left to pull off a performance of any kind this close to the concert. 
However, I now know what they are looking for and will allow (no 
percussion, and trumpet will have to be cleared with Dillards). For our 
Spring concert, we could certainly plan for a small pre-concert 
performance [we can't call it advertising for the concert, as then we'd 
have to pay for the priveledge of performing] sometime before the actual 
concert. Once we have our concert scheduled, we can then plan on 
additional rehearsal time if needed.

So, once again, everyone enjoy the time with friends and family - and 
maybe practice at home a bit - and we'll see you next Thursday, Dec 5, 
at 1st Congregational Church.
