I’ve gotten confirmation that we can start to set up on Saturday morning at 8:15 am. Please come early to help us set the stage. We will not have risers and the shell, however, until Sunday.

We must finish by 11:45 am and completely clear out of the Music Hall by 12:00 pm. This is very important. The staff must be able to start setup for the evening event by noon.

I’ve created a rehearsal plan for Saturday morning that allows 40 minutes for Dr. Martin to work with the group, gives us a full 10 minute break, and still gets us done by 11:45 am. Please help us stay on schedule by arriving in plenty of time, ready, caffeinated, and warmed up, ready to start on time at 9:00 am.

This is a rather complex and involved concert. I’m looking forward to performing with you.

Also, please join me in offering our sincere condolences to Rich Williams, whose father passed this past week. The memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, November 22 at 2:00 pm at the Larchmont Avenue Presbyterian Church, 60 Forest Park Avenue (Larchmont Avenue and Forest Park Avenue), Larchmont, NY 10538. Rich extends an invitation for all to attend.
