The rough plan for next year is to divide the year into three seasons, where we explore and showcase different styles.
Sept-Dec – Jazz (start with the basics, then combo charts, then read from chords/melody)
Jan-April – Concert Band (lyrical and programmatic written specifically for concert band)
May-June – Pop (Orchestral, TV/Movies, Rock, etc. that the average listener recognizes)
*Private Company Picnics, Bright Nights in June, Canada Day*
The cost is $150/year to cover expenses, and we will continue to rehearse starting the first Thursday in September 2015 through until Canada Day 2016, 7-9 at Bert Bowes Middle School.
