We’ll see you by 3:00pm for our early rehearsal on Sunday, 3/17. Please wear your maroon/slacks outfit. Our rehearsal will conclude at 5:30pm. We’ll then car pool to the Bull & Bush. Please bring dinner money as we’ll eat between our sets at the Bull and Bush Pub – the kitchen is finally open again! We’ll dismiss from there at 9pm.
Please remember to turn in your March Dues and Trip Payment #2 on Sunday, if you haven’t already done so.
I still need completed, signed, and notarized minor employment forms from Tyvon and Alec. Please bring them on Sunday.
Be sure that the 4 tunes for Sunday’s performance are prepared and memorized – Marchand De Poissons, Ham and Eggs, Big Butter and Egg Man, and Royal Garden Blues.
The set orders and reference recordings can be found on the Downloads page.
Also be working on: Basin Street Blues, West End Blues, Sing Sing Sing, Muskrat Ramble, West End Blues, Minnie the Mooche, My Walkin’ Stick, Water from an Ancient Well, Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans, Sweet Georgia Brown, and Sheik of Araby.
