I hope you've all had an enjoyable August! Over the last couple of weeks, we've all hopefully had a chance to rest and relax after our busy summer. As some of you may already know, Carole Blake asked me to begin taking over the duties of business manager - I'll be sending the reminders and directions if and when we have any special performances this year, and will do my best to make everyone aware if we receive any invitations or offers to perform.

Having said that, this message constitutes my first band-wide reminder:

Rehearsals start again on Monday, September 8th, at our usual 7PM time slot at Hanover High. In addition to getting back into the swing of things musically, I'll have a couple of items to review with you, including our upcoming appearance at Wheelock Terrace on Saturday, September 13th, as well as a chance to receive a Prouty T-shirt for those of you who participated at that event this summer.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions, and looking forward to seeing all of you on Monday!

Sarah Chamberlin
