Be sure to join us for our final Zoom of the regular 2019-2020 season, on Monday, June 29 at 7:30 pm.
We’ll be announcing a major development that will be of great interest to everyone. The Zoom info was sent in a direct email. We hope to see you then!
Lst evening, I sent all the details about tonight’s Zoom — except confirmation of the time. Tonight’s Zoom begins at 7:30 pm. The last Zooms before our summer break will coordinate with the original timeline of June rehearsals: June 22 (at 8:45 pm) and June 29 (at 7:30 pm).
As described in the email, our dialogue tonight will continue the discussion regarding how and when we’ll attempt to restart rehearsals in September.
Thanks to Barton for catching my omission. Hope to see you tonight!
Although I followed the warnings to update my Zoom application to 5.0 by May 30, I got an automated update message this morning when I logged onto Zoom for the first time. This required me to update from version 5.0.2 to 5.0.4, which now appears to be the latest update.
I’m sending this, anticipating that some of you may want to make sure your own Zoom is updated to the most current version before tonight’s Retirement Celebration. If you can, update this before trying to join the party, to avoid complications and delays.
I sent the Zoom info in direct email yesterday. Contact me if you did not receive it or need a refresher to sign in. Hope to see many of you tonight!
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.
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
If you’re a band director, please consider joining us on Thursday. The conversations have been lively and very helpful!
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!
