HERMAN (RUBIN)

Herman’s wife, Melinda, wanted everyone to know that Herman (vibraphone) is currently at Akron City Hospital as the result of a complication during a procedure. He must be pretty bored because he would love to get a phone call or text. His phone number is (330)933-4552.

Get better soon, Herman!

OCTOBER 30 REHEARSAL

Deb Withnell , our chick with the sticks, thought it would be a great idea to come to Thursday’s rehearsal in Halloween colors. Even better if you’re brave enough to wear a costume! Make sure it doesn’t get in the way of your playing though.
