A Happy to ya and all yours!!
... and if you're in Winnipeg Merry Ukrainian Boxing day!!!
or something like that.
Anyways big week this week.
We took last week off with the grade 2 band but had a pretty solid run at things tuesday night. This weekend is another rehearsal weekend, and the last time before the concert that we'll see the fly-in folk.
Our new practice regimen is paying off big time. In prior years we wouldn't see the entire band together until the friday before Maxville... not good. This year we've seen everyone for 3 weekend rehearsals already!! It shows in the playing, and especially the tuning process. With 22 pipers, give or take, 8 sides, 4 tenors, and one Chris Brown, we have to have our collective you know what together.
Grade 3 stormed the gates through the holidays rehearsing on the monday before New Year's. They're hard core! Things are coming but with all large change, there are growing pains.
Two Rivers has been making progress. I'm very very proud of the students and instructors and their hard work. Especially the progress the kids made over the break. Well done!!
This weekend is also the annual "Scout workshop" which I guess is now the "Boys Band workshop" but either way always a blast. This year they have brought in a plethora of outstanding instructors, Ken Eller, Bob Worrall, John Fisher, and Reagan Jones!
Of course there's a party after and we'll all be there!!!
Anyways back to class, the grind continues!
Cheers everyone, happy practicing!
Sean
