Hey all! Thanks for a fun rehearsal at the Train Depot last Thursday. This week we’ll be working on music for this Friday’s performance at the VFW Fairgrounds, 1441 US-431, Boaz. This performance is part of a fundraiser for the Douglas High School Band, as they are raising money for their December trip to Pearl Harbor.
We’ll do two 30-minute sets; the first one is at 4:00 pm, the second one at 5:pm. We’ll be done by 5:30. More info will be sent out later this week to those of you who signed up to participate. If your plans have changed, please let me know so I can plan accordingly.
