Last night's concert went well.  The small turnout was a bummer, but that seems to be the norm.  Either we don't get the word out or music for winds and percussion is a dying art form in suburbia. 

Anyway, since Lee (my friend and percussionist) and Shannon had their baby last Thursday, Lee couldn't make the concert.  So, he had his sister Anna come and play as his replacement.  Holy crap.  I can't imagine coming fresh into a concert and sight-reading the entire show.  Anna did an outstanding job - especially since she had never before played most of the music in the program. 

Now it's a few weeks off and then we start up rehearsals again for the summer.  We'll be playing out at the Lake Harriet bandshell among other outdoor venues all summer, and they'll be FREE too, so if you're reading this you should check the schedule and come see us.
