EE – 17 Sept 2019

Hello Encore Elgineans,

Thank you for a wonderful first rehearsal!  It was great to see you all again and meet our newcomers!  Below is some information.  hmm maybe a lot…!  Here’s how you can make good use of your time reading it:

  1. Note the concert band December concert date so you don’t double-book!
  2. Look at what we’re rehearsing next week so by looking at the notes chart, you know where to prioritize/se practising.
  3. Listen to the recording links of what we’re doing next week! Helps heaps.
  4. Read through the rest of the email.

Adrian
