Hello Elgin Encorites,
Thank you for a fantastic first rehearsal. We’re off to a solid term!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
An announcement will be made at rehearsal in regards to:
-TShirt orders
-Your availability to play a volunteer concert at Oakpark Retirement Residence on Wednesday 25 April (the Wednesday after the concert, so no RC rehearsal and Spring Band would not have started yet)
-Volunteers
a) social coordinator for EE (deciding dates to have socials and booking venues)
b) snack setup (thank you Mo last Tuesday!)
c) photocopying help for Fall 2018, so it isn’t always the same people doing it. This usually involves 3-4 people meeting at Staples and spending 4 hours organising music before the term starts.
-baritone saxes to sit near electric basses this week
-altos to gravitate towards the flute side to give clarinets room
ORDER OF REHEARSAL
This coming week’s order:
Moment
of the Trolls
1964 Beatles
What to bring:
-music stand (especially if you play flute, oboe, and clarinet. Priority of on-site stands go to large instruments like bass and bari sax)
-Essential Elements Book 2 (St. John’s is likely not to be there, but you can share with a bandmate I am sure.)
-Water cloth (to empty water on for brass instruments)
-a pencil (important!)
-term 1 music (eventually) We will combine both term’s music for the extra volunteer show
-Indoor shoes are recommended to leave a good impression.
-Toothbrush opt. (please remember to rinse out your mouth before playing to avoid nutrient+moisture buildup in your instruments…)
