From the Board President
Hi All,
2 weeks to go!
We've had really good rehearsals the last couple of weeks - let's keep up the great work!
I got an email from Kendra Cullen today. Some of y'all remember the National Community Band event last year where anyone could register to play in the band. Last year was in Lake Jackson, Texas and several ASB members played in it.
This year, it is in Las Vegas, July 6-9. They are still looking for instruments other than Flute and Saxes as those sections are full. Here is a link to the Registration Form in case you are interested in playing with them.
That is all for this week - see y'all Tuesday!
