Concert tickets
Marge will have Friends & Family half-price tickets ($10 each) available for purchase again on Monday & Wednesday this week. Please help us fill the house for our first concert in 6 months! Folks who live out of the area will be able to watch the livestream again on our own website at www.westchestersymphonicwinds.org, and it will be archived after the concert on our YouTube channel.
Carpet cleaning at TMH on Monday
Although it seems like they just did this, they are cleaning the carpets at TMH again on Monday during the day. Continue to use only the backstage door for entry/exit. Plan to use the backstage area or wings for storage of all coats and cases on Monday. Please do not go out into the House at all on Monday; things will revert to normal on Wednesday. Thank you.
Ukraine Fund-Raiser
As announced, we’re opening the concert on Saturday with the Ukrainian National Anthem, which we rehearsed last Monday, followed immediately by the Star-Spangled Banner. We are donated our 50% of the proceeds from this concert’s 50/50 raffle to the GoFundMe campaign – Support Displaced Ukrainian Musicians. This is the same organization which was the beneficiary of the recent sold-out fund-raising concert at TMH.
