. . well, you know. It’s Private Lesson scheduling time. You take it from there. Let’s just say the past few days have been rough.

Please remember:

1. Bring a check to pay your dues. Marge was surprised at the response last week.
2. I will bring ad forms tomorrow night. Please support the group by getting creative and helping us build the program book for the 30th Season!
3. If you’d like to help with the 30th Anniversary Gala, speak to Barton Green tomorrow night. He needs able-bodied assistants to help plan for May.
4. Have you signed up for Amazon Smiile yet? It’s “found money” for the band. See my post on August 9 for instructions.
5. The Air Force Band is presenting a free concert at The Palace Theater in Stamford on Tuesday, November 7. Several of us are going. Talk to Eric Milkie for more information.

The rehearsal plan is posted. Daugherty third movement is after the break. See you Monday night!

Our tickets are posted on the TMH website. If you’re on their email list, look for us to be featured in their weekly email this coming Tuesday.

This week, I’ve flip-flopped the Daugherty into the first part of rehearsal, so double reeds don’t need to arrive until you’re needed at 8:40 pm, for announcements.

Here’s the new Ad Form for 2017-2018. Please download, print, and share! (I’ll add this link to the Resource page on this site as well.) Our ad deadline for the November 5 concert will be October 16. Please give all ads forms, ad copy, and payments to Tom Sweezey.

Enjoy this unusually warm Fall weekend — see you Monday!

I’m in Oneonta, New York tonight, ready to give my debut TEDx Talk tomorrow at 1:00 pm EDT. My topic is “Framing Failure.”

I wasn’t going to advertise this until after the fact, because I was led to believe that this would not be broadcast live, and I was just going to wait and let everyone know after the fact when they post the videos on TEDxOneonta.com. But apparently, that is not true; it will be broadcast live. If you have a Facebook account, just visit the TEDxOneonta page, and the livestream will be there.

My talk is the third of eight.

And if you miss it, they will still eventually post my talk on the TEDxOneonta site. And if I’m lucky, maybe I’ll make it onto the granddaddy TED site. We’ll see.

Oh, and yes. We have rehearsal Monday night. See you then.

I’ve just re-ordered the rehearsal plan for tomorrow night, so the double reeds (who don’t play in the Daugherty) may leave at the break. Please take a look.

Please leave plenty of time to park, greet friends, and warm up so we can start squarely on time at 7:30 pm

See you tomorrow evening!
