MEMBERS ONLYBAND ACTIVITIESGENERAL NEWS...GENERAL NEWS...GENERAL NEWS...FYI SYMPHONIC BAND MEMBERS .. Our February 9th Rehearsal will be held at FEF in the Gymnasium due to a school activity at our regular location. Same time as usual! 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 (BAND BUSINESS DURING OUR BREAK!) Wednesday was a busy day for a few of us in NHBCOS: At noon, Audrey S. and Ed and Mary N. attended a luncheon sponsored by the Executive Women's International organization (local chapter) where they were presented grant money that will be used for financial aid for members, musical instruments and music, and also facility rent money. Thanks to Audrey, we were aware of the availability of the money and she was good to coach us through the process. Our thanks to her and all the EWI members for their generosity in assisting non-profit organizations such as ours so that we might be able to proceed to work with seniors as we do. Thank you, thank you!! Later that day, several of us traveled to Namaste in the Broadmoor area to entertain at their Christmas Party. Those participating were Jim H. and Tom F. (Trumpets), Sam S. and Corat M. (Trombones), Thomas T. (Tuba), Helayne T. (Bells), and Mary N. (Clarinet). If ever you have someone who is confined to a nursing home or if you have someone who resides in an assisted living facility, don't hesitate to ask us to entertain. Most always there is a group willing to share their talent. Our sincerest thanks to these folks for taking time during Christmas break participate in this one. (Corat's Wife, Jill,is currently a resident at Namaste). On Tuesday night (December 13th) Karen L. hosted the Symphonic Clarinets as they exchanged their folders for this upcoming semester. You may or may not know that the clarinets have a musical chair deal every semester so as to give the members an opportunity to play different parts (usually 1st, 2nd, or 3rd). It was a nice affair that everyone(even a few spouses) seemed to enjoy. She had wonderful coffee selections AND Blue Bell ice cream (along with pumpkin pie, molten lava cake (YUM), apple pie, and cherry cheesecake. She really knows how to throw a party, that's for sure. Thanks, Karen, for your unending generosity. 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 Badges orders are now being accepted AND clothing with the NHBCOS logos are also available (first ones were delivered just today).
