It’s
cold and miserable
…
…the heating is on the blink, everybody has a cold and there’s not a
lot of news! It must be February again!
Never mind, things can only improve!!
Birthdays
Ha
ha – There is no escape from standing on your chair!
Happy Birthday to:
1st Feb. Ian
10th Feb. Maggie
12th Feb. Catherine
17th Feb. Edward
As usual to anyone else I have missed – Happy Birthday!
Folders
Please
don’t take your folders home this Monday – I will sort out the music
for the summer programme (so far) on Tuesday and folders will be back on
Wednesday. If you want to
practise something on Tuesday and Wednesday , take the test-piece home! While we are on the subject PLEASE take care of your music -
don’t fold it, stand on it, eat it, write on it in anything other than
pencil – it costs a fortune!!

Band
Dinner
The band dinner will be on 31st March at the Lodge Hotel, Old
Maltongate. Steve has booking
forms so if you haven’t had one ask him for one immediately! It should be a really good night, so get your party frocks
out and look out your silliest ties!
TIP
OF THE MONTH...
When
practising the test piece (or anything else come to that!), don’t waste
time “practising” the bits you can play, practice the bits you can’t
play – don’t avoid them. If you do have any problems, don’t be
afraid to ask for help (only a few members of band have been known to bite
in the past!)
Our
lovely smart Bandroom!
Please try and keep it that way! This
means putting mutes, music etc. away at the end of practice, putting mugs
and glasses in the kitchen (after you’ve washed them up) and putting your
rubbish in the appropriate bin. Please
take care to sort the rubbish – Anna has generously offered to deal with
the recycling and does not want to have to pick through your used
chewing-gum and tea-bags etc.
Dorothy is buying lots of cleaning equipment and will then put up a cleaning
rota for us all to sign. The
more volunteers we have to clean the Bandroom, the less often we will have
to do it!! Please don’t let
the same people do it all!

Vacancies
If
you know or hear of any experienced cornet (or trumpet even!) players
looking for a band please try and point them in our direction – the more
the merrier!
There are still some places in the learners group available!
Parents, if you are not already playing or learning, come and give it
a try! If you are transporting your children, you might as well have fun
learning too! (The editor can personally recommend this as an approach!)
