Just FYI, beginning 10/16 the intersection of 241 and Shuffle will be closing for a year. If you check the MAPS website, there are directions for alternative routes.

I’m so excited. We have been asked to play at Raintree, in Uniontown, on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3rd, at NOON. (Call will  be 11:15-ish) They will pay us/donate $500. THIS WILL BE IN LIEU OF REHEARSAL THAT DAY. Mark your calendar. We need AT LEAST our typical Thursday daytime folks to give a good show. (We really need all of you! 🙂)

We WILL NOT be doing ‘Light the Boulevard’ on December 4 due to space issues and lack of available collaborative rehearsal time. We will plan better for next year!

See you Thursday!

Cathy

Greetings:

On Sunday, if you have a small or medium size instrument, please park on a side street as close as you can get to the gazebo and walk from there. Be down by the gazebo no later than 1:25. For people with large instruments, please meet at Barberton HS by 12:45 and condense yourselves and your equipment into as few vehicles as possible. We will leave the parking lot at 1:20 and caravan to the gazebo. Below are the driving directions we are to follow. THERE WILL BE CONGESTION NEAR THE GAZEBO because the Akron Symphonic Winds play before us and they also will be parked in that area. This has not been the situation in the past. At 1:30 they should be finished performing and will be clearing out. We will reconfigure the chairs to our liking and warm up ASAP. We will perform from 2:00 to approximately 2:30. We will clear the chairs after our performance.
