PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL 8 SACRAMENTO MUSICIANS AND AT LEAST ONE PARENT FOR EACH STUDENT, ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL SACRAMENTO TRIP EXECTATIONS MEETING AT WESTMINSTER ELKS LODGE FROM 5 UNTIL 5:30PM. 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/saxophone auditions, so please be prepared to play “Wolverine Blues” several times.
Please remember to bring your May dues on Sunday.
Please work really hard and be ready for Saturday’s performance, and Sunday’s performance and rehearsal.
Trip Update: We still need to come up with a total of $700 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 $70 for our trip to New Orleans in June.
Also, Sacramento musicians – We are performing with Kristy Reed’s Band on Friday afternoon. They would like us to learn Avalon, Take the A Train, Lazy River, and Please Don’t Talk About Me. All the attached lead sheets are in the correct concert keys, except Please Don’t Talk – that has to be transposed to the key of F. I’ve uploaded these PDF’s to our website, along with an audio recording for each.
