No Zoom on Memorial Day

There will be no Zoom on Monday evening, in honor of Memorial Day. Thank you to all the service personnel and essential workers associated with our WSW family! Enjoy the holiday.

Time to honor Rich, Barbara, & Marc as they retire!

On Monday, June 1, 7:30-8:30 pm, we’ll honor the players in our group who are retiring this year. These include Rich Dashnaw, string bass; Barbara Schulz, long-term flute sub; and Marc Tartell, principal euphonium.

The link will be the same as previous Monday nights. I will send this out again via direct email a couple days ahead. Please consider joining us that evening to help these remarkable music educators celebrate the beginning of the next era in their lives. I’ve asked them to consider inviting colleagues or family members to speak on their behalf, and we’ll give each retiree an opportunity to speak as well. If you can, have a glass ready to toast their successes and their new horizons. I hope you’ll be able to join us

WSW Band Directors Forum continues on Thursdays at 8:00 pm

If you’re a band director, please consider joining us on Thursday. The conversations have been lively and very helpful!

Keep the faith

As I mentioned in my last post, it is certainly disappointing to have lost the Spring Concert, and now to have lost the Caramoor concert on July Fourth. But there are exciting plans afoot. So keep practicing, keep the faith, because bwe will soon be together and making music together again soon!
