Peach Days Rehearsals Start TOMORROW

Greetings!
 
In a perfect world, I would have phoned everyone a month ago, and John Findlay, or conductor, would have phoned again two weeks ago, and I would have phoned again last Saturday. In a perfect world, we would be sending text messages to everyone's phone since that is the way to communicate.
 
But my world is not perfect, so I am emailing again instead.  We are going to have a smashingly fun Peach Days concert this year, and we want YOU and YOUR FRIENDS to come play with us. If you have not emailed me that you are coming, come anyway.
 
Rehearsal Dates: August 19, 21, 26, 28, and Dress Rehearsal September 2.
 
Rehearsal Time: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
 
Rehearsal Location: Adele C Young Intermediate School, 830 S Law Drive, Brigham City
Please Note: There will not be a rehearsal Thursday Sept 4 due to school & Peach Days scheduling conflicts, but we are confident that with good attendance at all 5 rehearsals and just a little practicing at home, we will be prepared for a superb performance on Sept 6.
Concert Date and Time: Saturday, Sept 6, 2:00 p.m., Old Courthouse at Forest & Main, Brigham City

Parade - Opinions and Volunteers Needed!
The Lake Bonneville Symphonic Society is planning to enter the Peach Days parade to spread the word about the Lincoln Youth Symphony, Lincoln Youth Chamber Orchestra, and Lake Bonneville Community Symphony. We need some participation: Either people willing to ride in the back of a truck and play music, or wave, throw candy, or hand out leaflets for the concert... We are not sure if we will perform live music for the parade and We need your feedback in our decision!
Auditions for 2008-2009 Season!
Auditions are scheduled for 8:30 to 11:00 am September 13, 2008 at Adele C Young Intermediate School 830 S Law Drive, Brigham City. All new and returning musicians must audition. Please refer to this link and scroll down for information on what to prepare for auditions: Audition Page.
 
Regular Saturday rehearsals from 8:30 to 11:00 am will begin the following week, Saturday, September 20.
So, let us know about playing for Peach Days, tell us your opinions about the Parade, and plan to audition on September 13.
