It’s hard to believe, but we’re down to the final two weeks before our first concert of the season. Tom will accept any last-minute ads (along with ad forms, copy, and payments) on Monday. This is the final deadline.

Make sure you check the rehearsal plan for this coming Monday, and please be reminded of our final rehearsals:

• Monday, October 30, 7:30-9:45 pm at TMH (Rich Guillen coming again)
• Wednesday, November 1 – rehearsal devoted entirely to working with Steve Cohen, clarinet, and Brooklyn Bridge, 7:30-9:45 pm at New Rochelle High School
• Saturday, November 4 – dress rehearsal for all works, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm at TMH
• Sunday, November 5 – call at 1:00 pm, concert at 3:00 pm at TMH

The final week is full and complex because TMH is not available for the Wednesday evening rehearsal with Steve Cohen (he’s coming east early just for us). We’ll be integrated the harp that evening as well. This is why Wednesday evening is at New Rochelle. (Double reeds do not need to attend.)

Lastly, I need help from someone for a graphics project. We need to put a huge ACME in stencil letters on the box Rich brought last week for the Markowski. It might be easiest to paint the stencil letters on a large poster board (36″x36″) and then staple the poster to the box. Please contact me if you’re intrigued and interested in helping.

I’m up here in beautiful Oneonta this weekend with Andy Pease, at Hartwick College. See you Monday.
