Welcome to our two newest All-Stars – Josh Emmons, on banjo, from Castle View HS; and Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen, on piano, from Fairview HS!
I’ve uploaded files for the Sacramento trip – performance sets, packing list, rules and regulations contract, and medical authorization form. The rules and medical forms need to be completed and signed before our meeting on the 20th . We’ll also need copies of both sides of your medical insurance card.
The set order sheets and reference recordings can be found on the Downloads page.
Please remember to bring your listening CD’s on Sunday.
We will have 1 or 2 clarinet auditions, so please be prepared to play “Wolverine Blues” several times.
Please work really hard and be ready for Saturday’s performance and Sunday’s auditions and rehearsal.
Trip Update: We still need to come up with a total of $1070 to cover the remaining costs for both trips. We are still hopeful that we can get some donations and gigs before we leave on our trips. But, each of us should plan on paying a maximum balance of $107 our trip to New Orleans in June.
