Hi, Folks: Thanks to everyone who responded regarding our invitation to play the National Anthem for the Nashua Silver Knights. A lot of you expressed interest in playing, but understandably couldn't make it due to the short notice. I'm definitely going to ask that they keep us in mind for next summer - with enough advance notice, maybe we can get a larger group together if they ask again. In the meantime, we had five people confirm they'd be available (depending on which of the two nights we chose), so I want to acknowledge Becky, Marge, Lisa Stebbins, Darcy, and Molly for "stepping up to the plate" (pun DEFINITELY intended, and I'll thank you to keep your groans to yourself). Ladies, if we play on Friday the 17th, our line-up would be Becky, myself on clarinet, Lisa on euphonium, Darcy on tenor sax, and Molly on trumpet. If we played on Saturday, we would lose Becky but gain Marge on clarinet. I need to know if we're willing to proceed with such a small group, which date really works better for each of us, or if we'd like to politely decline the invitation for this year. Thanks again, everyone! Sarah Chamberlin
