<html><body><p>So, only three people showed up last night. We sat around and talked about potential ways to get new people to join us as well as gamed out a couple of things for the rest of the summer.</p>
<p>Julie M will be at the church next Thursday, with music for the three pieces that we want to work on for Don's 50th party. I'll be out of town for this one Thursday, but will be in town for all subsequent Thursdays.</p>
<p>The three pieces, unless there are objections, will be:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Rock and Roll Classics</p>
<p>1812 Overture (Themes)</p>
<p>Eine Kleine Nachtmusick</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The party is on August 5, but I still need a solid time and place for the shindig!</p>
<p>What I'd like to do is this:</p>
<p>I'll be at the church every Thursday starting June 29 and have the hall open. Anyone who wants to come and work on any of the above three pieces, or who wants to bring new people in to look over the music, should try and make at least a couple of rehearsals between then and the end of July. We REALLY need to have people show up and rehearse so we don't sound like a bunch of elementary school students who don't know one end of our instruments from another! </p>
<p>August 3 John has said he can be at the church to fine-tune us for the party. SO, even if you can't make a rehearsal before that, August 3 is a must. Two days later we perform for Don's 50th and then we all take a break for a few weeks. </p>
<p>The end of August, on the 31st, we can then have our traditional beginning of fall potluck at John's and have our annual business meeting. Regular weekly rehearsals will start in September as usual after that. At that meeting we can vote on our calendar for the year in terms of when we want to do a concert and what sort of music we want to perform for it.<br>
