Hello Elgin Encores,
Thanks for braving the weather last Tuesday and what contrasting weather this week! Here are some items for the week:
*****
(refresher) From the email blast: Ireland Performance Trip!
Ireland! In our email blast of January 16, 2017, we told you about plans in the works for a performance trip to Ireland in June of 2018. We are pleased to announce that the date has now been set as June 18 – 30. The trip will include lots of sightseeing, as well as several opportunities to perform as a group. For more details and registration, click here. For a printable brochure, click here.
Although the travel company will require a deposit by credit card or cheque to reserve a spot if you register, no payment is actually cashed until we have reached a minimum of 30 participants, AND we have confirmed that we have a viable band among them in terms of instrumentation.
There will be information sessions on Tuesday, March 28 at 5:15 and 6:30 at Dominion Chalmers with a representative from the travel agency who will be able to answer questions about the trip.
