Hi, Folks:

We're into the home stretch! We have a concert on Friday night in Enfield,
NH, and a parade in Barre, VT on Saturday morning. Here's our schedule:

**********
ENFIELD, NH - HUSE PARK - CONCERT AT 7:00 PM ON FRIDAY, JULY 24

Please arrive by 6:30 PM. We play in light blue band shirts and khaki pants
as usual. Chairs will be provided on site. We'll have stands if needed, or
you can bring your own.

THIS IS THE LAST NIGHT I'LL BRING THE SIGN-UP FOR THE PICNIC! If you
haven't added your name to the list, PLEASE E-MAIL ME as soon as possible.
We need a head-count for the caterer. See more info at the end of the
message.

In case you missed it, here's the playlist Becky provided earlier today:

Directions to Enfield:
(GPS: Look for Enfield United Methodist Church, 214 US-4, Enfield, NH)

From I-89 take Exit 17 (Route 4 Enfield/Mascoma Lake).
At the bottom of the ramp take a right towards Enfield (Route 4 East).
As you enter Enfield you will come around a very sharp corner. The
Elementary School
will be on your left.
Go down the short hill to the next intersection (a 4-way intersection).
Huse park will be on the right, beside and behind the Community Building
and the Methodist Church. (If you pass Mickey's Cafe, you've gone too far!)
You should also see a sign in front of the Community Building announcing
our concert.
You can park in the parking lot beside the Community Building.

This is a rain or shine event: If we have bad weather, we're playing inside
the Community Building on the same schedule.

BOARD MEMBERS: Becky needs to hand off the pink music tubs ASAP. Does
anyone have space to hold them until our Lyman Point Park concert this
Wednesday?

**********
BARRE HERITAGE FESTIVAL PARADE - BARRE, VT - PARADE AT 1 PM ON SATURDAY,
JULY 25

This is a bit more regimented than our other parades, folks. We have to be
IN THE LINE-UP at a set time, so PLEASE be at the Auditorium NO LATER THAN
12:00 PM. (There's plenty of parking.) If you can arrive earlier, that's
great, as we'll be putting up the frame and tarp. This is a big parade and
a city-wide event, so plan on having a little bit of traffic to negotiate
before and after. Uniform is light blue band shirts and khaki pants. Bring
your folding chairs. Stands will be available.

So far, Saturday is looking good, weather-wise, but if that changes and the
parade is cancelled, I'll do my best to get the word out ASAP Saturday
morning.

Directions to Barre (Barre Auditorium):
(For GPS, use Barre City Auditorium, 16 Auditorium Hill, Barre, VT)

From I-89:
Take Exit 7. Go through 5 traffic lights, following signs that read EAST,
62 and 302.  At the 5th traffic light go straight through the intersection,
following the sign that reads NORTH RT. 14. Get into the right turn lane at
the next traffic light and turn right onto Summer St. At the next
intersection (no light) turn left, and head up the hill to the Auditorium
and Civic Center. Saint Monica's Catholic Church will be in front of you on
your left. Turn up the hill before the church. The parade will end at
Pyramid Supply on South Main St., but you may wish to continue a bit
further to the 4-way intersection, with traffic lights. Turn left onto
Ayers St. You can sit out the parade here, and then make your way back to
the auditorium where your cars are.

From Williamstown:  Follow RT. 14 North. You will make a hard right hand
turn at major intersection of RT 62 and I-89. Go to next traffic light and
tun right onto Summer St. At the next intersection (no light) turn left,
and head up the hill to the Auditorium and Civic Center. Saint Monica's
Catholic Church will be in front of you on your left. Turn up the hill
before the church.

**********
Our last two performances this summer are Lyman Point Park concert on
Wednesday, and the Canaan parade on August 1. I think we still need an
announcer for Lyman (Becky, any update there?) so if you're interested, let
us know!

August 1st is also the date of our annual band picnic. For those of you who
haven't attended before, this event is meant for band members and their
families. It's free of charge, and is catered - no need to bring pot-luck.
We meet at the Rice's camp on Mascoma Lake and wind down from this crazy
summer! We need a head-count of those who plan to attend, which is why I've
been bringing a sign-up sheet to our last few concerts. If you haven't
already added your name and number of guests, e-mail me as soon as you can.
Elisa needs the numbers for the caterer, and the earlier the better.

Thanks, folks, and I'll see you tomorrow night!
