[Blgspops] Scholarship info and general thoughts

[shauna at bresnan.net]

Greetings everyone!

I just want to say that we sounded pretty good last Friday night - and
I heard a LOT of compliments on how everyone sounded. Well Done!

Also, we got a donation from the Sons of Norway on Friday for our
scholarship fund. They passed the hat, so to speak, and we got $131 in
cash. I did a quick count of it at the building and thought it was
$133, but some of the one dollar bills were sticking together and a
more careful count at home later gave us the revised total. I'll have
that for our treasurer on Thursday.
We got a sixth application in the mail on Saturday. It was postmarked
the 10th (Friday) and is a well-written one, so I think we should
consider it along with the other five. The gal who sent it in is the
first chair clarinet in the Senior High music program. Her essay is
well written and very legible and her teacher's recommendation is very
good as well.
Everyone who is interested in reading this application along with the
other ones we already have can do so Thursday. Once you have read all
of the applications, I'll ask you to initial which one or ones you
choose. Majority vote will prevail.
We only played for about 35 minutes on Friday, which was about 3/4 of
our total concert music that we have been rehearsing. I've asked John
to see if there is some other piece or pieces of music we have in our
library we could add in the next two weeks to pad our time a bit. If
not, we'll have a pretty short concert  - an hour or less, depending
on how much John talks :-). Look for a message about any music to
bring this week. I'll try very hard to have copies for the newer
players or those who can't find older music right away.
That's all for now - let me know if there is anything else we need to
be doing prior to our concert.
