[Blgspops] Music Committee meeting report and potluck reminder

[Jacquie Ziegler]

Greetings to everyone!

The music committee met last evening, August 30. We are planning for the 
following performances:

Thursday November 8 (Nov 11 is Sunday and 100th anniversary of the end 
of World War One) at the church:
     L'Arlesienne, Armed Forces Salute, Military Symphony, 
Carmen:Changing of the Guard and Irving Berlin's America

December as possible (date to be determined by when the church is not 
available):
Christmas nursing home concert, possibly with the Corelli Concerto and 
the Christmas songs.

January (late, possibly the 24th?) for the Head Start children's concert
     Carnival of the Animals, and possibly something from Pictures at an 
Exhibition by Mussorgsky.

Our Spring Concert, probably in middle to late May:
     Albinoni Concerto in F for Two Oboes (Op 9 No 3) with guest artist 
Sue Logan
     Ode to Joy
     Pictures at an Exhibition

July Model T Banquet - we are playing during the banquet (third weekend 
in July) so we can play whatever we want, really.  Pieces to be determined.

Some of these are new pieces and some are in our library already. The 
plan is to practice all the pieces for the January Head Start concert 
during the fall along with the Fall items. This way we can have a couple 
of Jan rehearsals to fine-tune the Head Start pieces without feeling 
like we are trying new stuff too quickly.

The Spring Concert should be a serious fund raiser as well - this will 
be discussed further next week at the potluck and annual business 
meeting at John's. Thursday the 6th of Sept at 6 for food, 7 for the 
meeting. John will have the burgers, everyone else is encouraged to 
bring side dishes.

I'll put out another potluck reminder after this weekend.

Everyone enjoy the holiday and stay safe!
