Saturday!
Hi everyone. Thank you for your great work in rehearsal today. Here are the details for this Saturday:
4:40 p.m. - Gold and Silver Band combined rehearsal
5:00 p.m. - Silver Band rehearsal
5:45 p.m. - break
7:00 p.m. - Call time
7:30 p.m. - downbeat
I have made one final change to the program order. I thought it would be better to end on an actual Christmas piece so we're switching the first and last piece. Here's the order:
Slavonic Dance No. 8
Holly & Ivy
Let it Snow!
Cantique de Noel
Cambridge Carol
See you Saturday!

Rehearsal at LCI on Oct 25
Hi everyone, just a reminder that rehearsal has changed yet again to LCI. Every week it has changed to LCI for different reasons. This week the choral program is using the band room during our rehearsal time. Ken Rogers will be rehearsing again. I'll see you all next week!

Tuesday, October 18 at LCI
Hi everyone,
Last Thursday my school was contacted by Disney and they wanted to know if we could provide a 15-piece marching band for a movie they are filming in Fernie called "Santa Pups." My principal and I quickly got to work to see if this was possible and after clearing it with the school board and superintendent, we got the go-ahead! The only downside is I will be missing the next two weeks of rehearsal. So you will be in the very good hands of Ken Rogers and his intern Erin George-Samuels. Rehearsal will be at LCI this upcoming Tuesday and then back at CCH next week.

BBQ on Tuesday!
Hey everyone!
Great job on the concert last night. The feedback I've gotten has been very good.
This upcoming Tuesday, we're going to have a BBQ at our place from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. My wife and I will provide the burgers and hotdogs. If woodwinds can provide a side dish and brass provide a dessert to share that would be great! Bring a blanket or a chair to sit. We have plenty of lawn space in the backyard.

Tomorrow at Kiwanis - Call time changed to 6:30 p.m.
Hi everyone,
The call time is now at 6:30 p.m. and the performance time is 7:15. The address is 1002 4 Ave. South at the Yates Theatre. The Sterndale Bennett Theatre is an adjoining theatre in the same building as the Yates. If you're facing the Yates it's to the left of the Yates. I would suggest if you've never been there before, give yourself about ten minutes extra to find where it is. Here's a google maps picture of the place.
Concert order is as follows:
Flourish For Wind Band
Ave Verum Corpus
Carnival of the Animals
Song of the Hebrides
Spania
I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Welcome back!
Lethbridge Silver Band,
As I said at last week's rehearsal, thank you for selecting me as your next conductor. I am honoured to be the next musical director for the Lethbridge Community Silver Band. I look forward to getting to know every one of you and working together to make great music.
Now let's get to work! After the long list of music that we read last rehearsal, I've narrowed the selections down for festival. They are the following:
Flourish For Wind Band - R. Vaughn Williams
Ave Verum Corpus - Mozart, arr. Kreines
Carnival of the Animals - Saint-Saens, arr. Curnow
Spania - Shaffer
We will be working on those pieces tomorrow. In addition to these:
Creed - Himes
Genesis - Curnow
Hands Across the Sea - Sousa
Twelfth Street Rag - Bowman
