There will be no rehearsal today. Please use this time to practice. Everyone please work on the Glenn Miller pieces. Flutes, take a minute and work on Stars and Stripes, especially where you are featured. Strings, please work on the first section of Tudo Bem. You can also jump ahead to the last section as it is nearly the same as the beginning.
Thursday we will meet at MAPS. Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Jim will be at the church – will hand out new music and if enough people want to stay and rehearse –good. The side roads in Akron are still a little messy, so don’t drive if you don’t want to. I know we can’t wait to get started, but, we need to respect the weather too. Be safe.
There will be no Zoom as I won’t be able to make it. (webmaster)
IT WILL WARM UP SOMETIME!
