…I’m still flabbergasted that it’s been 18 years since the millennium…
And here we are, at the end of the line. But, we’re all in one piece!
Our final concert of the season takes place as follows:
Where: Bourkevale Community Center – 100 Ferry Rd
When: Saturday, September 8 – call time is 7:30 pm. The warm up will start at 7:55 pm, with the baton dropping promptly at 8:00 pm (unless the festivities delay us for some reason).
If you are going to the Banjo Bowl, please consider making the mad dash to join us at this gig. It would be great to have as many as possible for a last hurrah! (Please let me or one of your sectionmates know if you think you may be late – we can leave a chair for you!)
Dress is the usual, in order of preference:
1 – Millennium Band T-shirt and black bottoms
2 – Forest green short-sleeved shirt and black bottoms
3 – All black

We will be playing outside in one of the rink areas. There will be lighting, but you will also require a stand light!!! (Last year, they cut the lights and started the fireworks early. They may do the same again this year, so let’s be prepared). Also, you will likely need page fasteners (i.e. clothespins) or plexiglass as it may get a little breezy.
In the event of inclement weather, we will be moved inside. Let’s all hope for good weather!
Please turn in your music after this concert. The librarian requests that your return it to numerical order before handing your binder in!
Let’s have a whale of a time, and show Bourkevale what they’ve enabled us to accomplish!
