Great job at tonight’s Botanical Gardens Performance! We earned $30 in tips, too!!

ON SUNDAY, JULY 15TH, PLEASE WEAR YOUR BLUE BAND SHIRT, KHAKI BAND PANTS, DRESS SHOES AND SOCKS OUTFIT. WE WILL MEET AT WESTMINSTER ELKS CLUB (3850 Elk Drive) BY 3:15PM. A SECOND SET LIST FOR THIS DJC SESSION HAS NOW BEEN UPLOADED, SINCE WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT DALLAS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE PERFORMING WITH US! WE PERFORM FROM 3:45 UNTIL 4:15PM. DRUM SET, CYMBALS AND PIANO WILL BE PROVIDED. JOSH, PLEASE BRING YOUR UPRIGHT BASS, BUT ALSO BRING YOUR BANJO IN CASE ALEX IS UNABLE TO PERFORM.

PARENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND FRIENDS  ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO ATTEND!! WE WILL HAVE A VERY SPECIAL CONGRATULATORY PRESENTATION FOR OUR 3 SENIORS – DALLAS, MATT AND ALEX!!!

Please remember to bring your July dues on Sunday, if you have not already done so.

Please work really hard and be ready for Sunday’s performance.

AT 5:00PM WE WILL CAR POOL FROM THE WESTMINSTER ELKS LODGE TO A RESTAURANT, SO PLEASE BRING FOOD MONEY. WE WILL THEN HAVE OUR REHEARSAL, WHICH ENDS AT 9:00PM.

Please remember to bring your listening CD’s on Sunday.

Please be prepared to play all your major scales around the circle of fourths. We’ll also do pg. 6 in the improv book – Major triads plus 6th’s around the circle. Please practice so you can do it all from memory.

We will rehearse for the July 26th, 28th and 29th  performance sets.

The vocal to Blue Skies will need to be decided between Dallas, Tim and Matt for the July 26th and 28th performances.

Also, we will need to select the tunes for the Evergreen Jazz Festival and Flesher-Hinton Music Store Customer Appreciation Day. Dallas, Alex, Matt and Rico can select the selections, since these will be your final appearances with our band.
