Personnel listing for ACB

First, I’ve updated the Rehearsal This Week page for our rehearsal order tomorrow night. I’m sorry I didn’t get to everything last week, but I do intend on covering this list Monday night.

One thing I’d like to discuss with the group tomorrow evening is the personnel listing for the ACB Convention program. Over the years, I’ve noticed convention programs for ensembles similar to WSW listing more than just names for each member in the instrument personnel list. Specifically, I have seen lists like these:

Trumpet
John Smith, psychologist (14)
Laura Jones, music educator (6)
Pat Klein, homemaker (20)

where the number in parentheses indicates the number of years of membership. The idea was to give identity to the fabric of the group’s members.

Think about this and let’s talk about it tomorrow night. I’m interested in your input, and whether you’d like to see this included for this particular program.
