Back on track at TMH

We are back on track for rehearsal this Monday evening at Tarrytown Music Hall, at our regular time. If you can come a little early to help set up, please do. We have access to the Music Hall at 6:45 pm, and we want to start promptly at 7:30 pm. Tom Thayer will have the TMH crew move our equipment back from the Annex to the stage in time for our set up. If you are not on the TMH emailing list, you missed this week’s email update — which features WSW prominently for the very first time! The write-up is exceptionally kind. The next time you see Björn or Karina, please thank them for featuring us — or better yet, visit the TMH site and send an email to say thank you for this important publicity.

The rehearsal order is the same as I had planned for last week; click here for the posted rehearsal order. (If you checked this page earlier this week and saw Arutunian and Hackett, I apologize for the web gremlins.)

We need to get a head count for our tour of the Kensico Cemetery on Sunday, October 5, 2:30-4:30 pm. For our convenience, the cemetery administration is providing a custom trolley tour, and refreshments will be served. I really recommend this — seeing this place and experiencing it first-hand will undoubtedly have a transforming effect on the performance. Use the form below to sign up for the tour. Click here for driving directions to the cemetery. We’ll meet to get organized in the main parking lot next to the main administrative building at 2:15 pm.

I have missed everyone! See you Monday.

Rehearsal cancelled 9/15

Regretfully, I am writing to announce that we must cancel rehearsal tomorrow evening, September 15. Watch your email for the announcement concerning the site for next week’s rehearsal on September 22.

If you have a friend in the group who doesn’t check their email regularly, help us by giving them a call so they don’t make the trip needlessly.

The rehearsal plan will be updated for September 22.

Back to TMH!

We are ready to start our first rehearsal back in the Tarrytown Music Hall. We have confirmed with Karina that we are good to go with all chairs, stands, and percussion for Monday’s rehearsal. As usual, the hall will be open by 6:45 pm for set up, and we tune at 7:30 pm. If you can come early to help set up, it is appreciated. This is a team effort, and we can’t have a team without team members!

As usual, the rehearsal order is posted here. I’ll see you on Monday evening in Tarrytown.

Memorial Mass for Nancy Culen Mingrone

For those of you who know Al Mingrone, who conducts the Bronxville Pops Concert Band: I regret to share the news that his wife, Nancy, passed on August 30. Ron LoPinto sent this information out to all BPCB members, and I thought I would pass it along to all of you. It appears to be an open invitation to both the mass and reception.
