What a Blast!

Today's concerts and workshop went well. Not only did our youngsters had a blast playing; teachers and students exit the gym in two-steps and big smiles on their faces.

We'll do it again next Thursday. Three schools!

Fwd: Our Big Day

Nolan and Kaelin got up at 5:30 this morning. Well, apart from the fact that it is band morning and they needed to be at school by 7:00, today is also Day One of our Spring School Tour. The younglings have spent days co-ordinating what to wear for this gig. They even went out and got a nice vest for one of the boys during their break when taking advantage of early dismissal and busking downtown on Wednesday.

Our hallway is once again packed with instruments waiting to be loaded into the van. We will be heading out to our first destination, Sydenham Community School, in less than an hour!

Music and Dance is what makes my world

To quote Sun Ra:

They tried to fool you, now we got to school you! 

Just seven days to go before our 2013 Spring School Tour where we will play our kind of music for the gradeschool kids at no less than five Owen Sound elementaries where we'll play some, chat some, and hope to inspire at least of few kids to take up band instruments when they get to Grade 7!

It's going to be an adventure: 11 musicians sharing two vans with a sousaphone and who knows how many instrument cases, with three shows a day (two and a workshop on one of them) and all said and done before the final school bell rings!
