Cascade Winds Coming VERY Soon

Posted on 01/05/09

This is going out to all of you who played with the Winds fall term as well as those of you in our database that have played with the band previously. We had a great fall rehearsal season and an exciting concert and are looking forward to the next set of rehearsals and March concert.

WINTER TERM: Rehearsals start Thursday, January 8, 7:00 p.m. at Summit HS band room. Please be there early enough to be seated, warmed up and ready to play at 7:00 pm. We will do registration at the break [see below].

CONCERT: Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 p.m. at Summit High School. We are doing just one concert each term this year with the goal of building up audience numbers. Check now to make sure you will be able to play the concert as well as consistently attend rehearsals from January 8 through March 5. There may also be a extra final rehearsal on March 7. It isn't fair to the group to commit to playing and then not come to rehearsals on a regular basis. If you have any questions about rehearsal absences, please talk to Dan.

REGISTRATION: The cost of a one-credit class at COCC has remained the same, a total of $66.75. Plus, if you have NEVER taken a class of any kind at COCC there is a one-time-never-pay-again fee of $25 for new students. Some scholarship funds should be available. Please let me know (in confidence of course) if availability of scholarship funds affects your ability to participate. Our fundraising efforts are on-going with our long-term goal to raise enough funds to pay musicians tuition. We are not there quite yet, however.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me.

Thanks for your attention and hope to see many, many of you on January 8.
