Greetings everyone!

I hope that everyone has had a good summer. It's been hot and dry but we 
are starting to get towards that fall season quickly.

John's been busy this summer, but we have a schedule worked out.

Thursday, August 30, starting around 7 pm at his house for Music 
Committee. This is where anyone in orchestra can come and put in their 
ideas for what we will be working on this fall and next spring for 
pieces. John does have some ideas already, of course - a mixture of old 
and new pieces.

John would like to have the annual business meeting potluck at his house 
on Thursday the 6th of September and then we can start up regular 
rehearsals on Thursday the 13th of September. This gets us past those 
first couple weeks of school startup and parent open houses, etc.

Keep in mind that next summer, third weekend in July, we will be playing 
for the National Model T Association banquet. This is going to be a 
pretty big deal - but we are not the spotlight, just dinner music. Since 
they are interested in older cars, I had been given some suggestions for 
using the 'old time movie music' that we played several years ago. That 
was the one year I did not participate in orchestra at all, so I don't 
actually know what that music was.

Schedule-wise, there are several options available to us. We don't HAVE 
to do a fall concert, and if we work on music steadily all fall then 
after the winter holidays start up in January we should be well-versed 
in the music. Doing a Spring concert of what we will do in July and 
making that a fundraiser concert as well - all ideas for what sort of 
fundraisers we could do welcomed! - then we could fine-tune before the 
banquet.

If we do want to do some sort of performance in the fall, then maybe we 
could book one or two assisted living centers for early to middle 
December and do the usual Christmas music along with whatever pieces we 
have been working on for the Model T banquet.

These are just my thoughts - we can hash out details both at the Music 
Committee and the potluck. Please let me or John know your ideas!

Hope to see folks on the 30th! If you need a reminder, here's John's 
address:

1745 Ave C

This is the North East corner of the intersection of 18th St W and Ave C.
