Hi Everyone,
- For those of you who were not at rehearsal last week and haven’t heard the news yet, Vincent Macrina, will be our director for the 2023/24 season. He has expressed some great ideas to the board that we are excited to see come to fruition. We have a lot of great music ahead of us!
- Last week Karen collected the following three pieces that we will not be playing again this year:
- Arabesque
- At Kitty O’Shea’s
- Big Band Polka
- There are additional pieces to be collected, but we started with these.
- Steve noted last week that the following pieces are IN for the Caribbean Nights concert:
- Blue Mambo
- Carnaval in Sao Paulo
- El Choclo
- El Relicario
- The Genius of Paul Simon
- La Paloma
- Partay
- La Danza
- The Best of Miami Sound Machine will be performed this summer, but not at the Caribbean Nights concert.
- There are a couple of other new pieces that are TBD for the Caribbean Nights concert depending on how rehearsals go.
- Nicole sent around a signup for refreshments for the intermission during the Caribbean Nights concert. Please see her email and sign up to bring something if you can.
- We still have one open spot for next year’s board of directors. If you’d like to help shape the future of this wonderful organization, please reach out to any current board members. The new term starts in July.
- We are wearing our blue summer shirts for the Caribbean Nights concert. If you don’t have a shirt yet, please reach out the Joy to obtain one.
- We will be in Sharon at the middle school this week and will be in Walpole at the KofC the following week, June 1st. Then we’ll be back in Sharon for our final two rehearsals.
