Hello Everyone:
We will be giving Bob Hull a BCAS welcome on Wednesday night. His bio is below. A most impressive one at that!
We will be at SH HIGH SCHOOL, 7:00 – 9:30. But come early since there is a lot to get done before hand. We have a ton of folks to thank for spending Saturday morning at the Library toiling over 20 copies of music that needed to be scanned, assigned, placed in envelopes, and stored in plastic bins for transport to SH. You will be given 2 envelopes – one for October and one for December.
I have made new seating cards, and placed you in an arrangement of STBA in four rows. It will be a tight squeeze. I will send # of seats per row for our set up crew. If there are updates, or changes on these cards, just change that information and I’ll take care of making a new one.
We are embarking on a wonderfully new and exciting 54th season. And there will be changes. John’s passing is still so raw for many of us. But we will do what we do best – SING BEAUTIFULLY.
With that…………….introducing………………
