Your contribution to the band is both welcome and appreciated, and your best is good enough.
Hello Elgin Encores,
It’s nearly Showtime! Thank you all so much for a lovely term. It was great to have many of you again and to get to know new members as well. You’re sounding fantastic and it’s going to be a stellar show.
Also a huge thank you to our band rep and oboe/English horn extraordinaire – Jackie – who has spent countless hours helping the band behind the scenes and juggling all the bookings and rebookings.
Let’s wow the crowd with the result of our teamwork!
