Performance today

We played our first Curbside Concert today at the Masters School to honor the Head of School, Laura Danforth, on her birthday. Many thanks go to the volunteers to played, including Marge Hone, Barton Green, Tom Sweezey, Stan Serafin, Dave Marchiony, and Michael Lucke. We are also grateful to Marge for hosting our pre-performance rehearsal in her front yard (cheers from her neighbors!) and especially to Barton for creating these amazing four-part arrangements!

Today we played Largo, from Xerxes by Handel, Happy Birthday, and America, the Beautiful – all of them Barton’s creative arrangements. Two quick videos are included below.

Please promote our Curbside Concert idea to promote the group. In exchange for a donation of the donor’s choosing, we’ll send a group to play a short concert on the recipient’s front lawn. Especially now, we all need live music like this!

Zooms this week

We have another general member Zoom tomorrow evening, October 5, at 8:00 pm, and a Band Director Group Zoom on Thursday, October 8 at 8:00 pm. I’ll send the Zoom credentials in separate emails. Join us to see friends, share stories, catch up!

Email list

Please help us to reach a larger audience on November 8 by adding names of friends/family who may not have been to a WSW concert yet. Use the quick form below to add names and emails. If everyone could add 3-6 names, we could double our list!

Fall rehearsals at TMH on hold

We’ve been communicating with TMH regarding the fall rehearsals we hoped to begin this week. Although our protocols for the summer rehearsals are in line with the expectations of the stage manager, we haven’t gotten complete answers regarding air ventilation and fresh air exchange, and so we have put these rehearsals on hold until we can get more information.

Please stay tuned. It is still our hope to get these small ensembles up and running.
