Evening of Remembrance

The concert season has begun!  Last week the Community Band played at the community Remembrance Day ceremony.

And the Swing Band I play in had our big concert last night.  Trumpeter Donnie Clark came as our headliner.  We workshopped with Danny all day, then performed to a full house in the evening.

The theme was music from the second World War era.  There was dancing and some people even dressed up in 40's fashion.  I tried to do my hair up in a Victory Roll, but no luck, too long and too heavy.  (Or too inept, not enough hairspray?)

Next week we start practicing for the Annual Tuba Christmas concert, and the Community Band plays next Sunday at the Medieval Market Christmas Concert.

Meanwhile Leo is sitting out the music season.  He's taking a break from the Pipe Band, though still practicing his pipes, and has to take a few months off singing as he has damaged his vocal cords (!!)  We hope he'll be back in business by Christmas.  Meanwhile I have to keep reminding him he's not allowed to sing.
