Performance report

The weather was a little warm for the walkers, which means it
was perfect for us — the walkers were encouraged to stop and
listen for a while instead of having to barrel on to get out of
the wind and the rain and cold.

The program was a little bit too long and difficult, but we
played most of it four times, and we know it a lot better than we
did before.

Walk for Hunger

We will again be playing at the Walk for Hunger. We will be
concentrating on the repertoire for that in most of our March and
April meetings, so you should plan to make a substantial number of
those if you want to play with us.

If you’d like to come, and can’t make the rehearsals, we will
have a 5 hour slot to fill, so we need people who want to play in
between our sets.

Let me know if you want to do either of those things.

3pm on May 3, and can make some of the Tuesday
night meetings in March and April, please join us.
