Good thing we didn’t have any rehearsal planned for Friday, right? I hope everyone got home safely.

This week:

• Rehearsal Monday
• Reaching out to assist Farmingdale HS
• Free reeds for band directors

Rehearsal Monday

We continue our rehearsals on Monday at TMH. I was told that we cannot enter until 7:00 pm because of a scheduled event.We can use the rear stage door, as usual. See the rehearsal plan here.

Farmingdale assistance

If you are moved to make a contribution to the GoFundMe campaign to support Joseph Pellettier, son of band director Gina Pellettier, who was killed in last week’s tragic bus crash, please click this graphic. Donations made through this campaign will directly benefit Joseph. Unfortunately, scam campaigns have already popped up. Please use this link to assure that your donation goes to the right place. If possible add “WSW” after your name to help identify our ensemble’s group effort to assist this family.

Free Bb clarinet and alto sax reeds

Marc Perler, who works at Music & Arts, asked if I could help him offload a large number of brand-new, sealed boxes of clarinet and alto sax reeds to make room for new, updated inventory. I’ve divided his donation into several packages. If you are interested in some of these free reeds for your school band program, contact me by reply so I can prep a package to give you on Monday. Thank you, Marc!
