Hi everyone

Time to plan our spring concert at Lytton. I heard from Bethany and here are the possible dates:

Sunday March 2
Sunday, March 9
Sunday, March 30

We would play at 2 or 3 pm.

Let me know which dates work for you and I will schedule according to the date most of us can do.

[Dan Pitt]

March 9 and 30 work best for me. March 2 might not be impossible but it could be tight.

Sundays in ski season never good for me.  Depends this year on if ever snow, more so if there is some later.

Thanks,
Dan

For me:

3/2 yes
3/9 yes
3/30 no

[Paul Mernyk]

I'm pretty sure I can make any of those dates.

Paul

[Joe Margevicius]

I'm working on better chording for the Big Band music you play so well,
and want to give it a shot (I know this isn't the Hoe Down so I don't
expect the accordion dance music). I can only make it March 9 however.

[Patrick Stormer]

I'm busy on 3/9 and 3/30, but 3/2 works.

hi everyone,
It looks like we have a quorum for Sunday, March 2 at 2:00 or 3. Please put the date on your calendars.
We have Tim, Jim, Paul, Patrick, Dylan, Lauren and me. Dan Pitt is a maybe and I haven't heard from Casey, Steve, or Warren. so hopefully we will have a few more in our number.
I hope to set up two rehearsals the two weeks before on two different nights of the week. If there is a week night you can't make a rehearsal let me know and I will do my best to schedule accordingly. By the way, has anyone had experience in setting up a doodle poll? Might make it a lot easier to schedule performances and rehearsals in the future. Let me know if you know how to do it.
see you soon.
Susan

[Jim Washburn]

Thanks Susan for doing the work to organize the gig. 

It would be good to know what to practice …

Can we assume that the playlist would be the same as what we played at Lytton last year, or would there be some changes?

Hi everyone

Steve's studio is available for rehearsal on:

Wed, Feb. 19

Tuesday,  Feb 25

It would be good to have two rehearsals so everyone could make it to at least one. I have a conflict on Wed. 2/19 and don't know if I'll be able to make it, but will be there on 2/25. 

Let me know which rehearsals you can do so we know who will be at each one.

Both will begin at 7:30.

See ya soon.

Susan

[Casey Koulman]

I can rehearse tonight but only until 830pm...

We will go over newer material (see a previous email of mine) as best as we can in the 50 or so minutes I will have to rehearse.

Hi everyone
Just a reminder - rehearsal tonite at 7:30 at Steve's studio. This is the only rehearsal for our concert at Lytton on Sunday so please be there if you can.
Susan

[Tim O'Konski]

Sure we will start out with the new songs: Dixie Downbeat and Coney Island Washboard. ..

John has a big presentation tomorrow, and needs me to be home as much as I can.  I will try to make the

rehearsal at 8pm.  Can we hold my songs until then?

Hi BSBBer's

We had a good rehearsal on Tues and learned some great new tunes.
We'll play at Lytton on this Sunday at 2:00. Be there at 1:40 to set up.
Dress is Hawaiian shirts.
Tim will send playlist.

See you then.

Susan

[susan chamberlain]

Hi everyone

Thanks for the great music you all played at Lytton yesterday. I thought the performance was one of our best. Some really good sounds. We drew a good crowd when they heard our Dixieland coming out of that social hall. The staff and residents really appreciate our faithfulness over the years. And I think it is a lot of fun.

Thanks also for your time and effort rehearsing and learning some new tunes. Hopefully we'll get more rehearsal time next time.

Have a great week.

Susan

[Paul Mernyk]

I agree.  Thanks for organizing it Susan!!

Paul
