Well it's on like Donkey Kong!
The Grade 2 band is heading west for the weekend. We'll be performing our butts off at the Manitoba Heritage Tatoo in Brandon, MB.
We couldn't be more excited to head to Brandon, and spend some quality time bonding as a band early in the season.
We have a few rehearsals, and then two shows. One Saturday night and one Sunday morning.
In between, however, there is Halloween parties at various speakeasys in the fair city of Brandon.
So, if you wanna have some fun this weekend, grab some friends, jump in the car, and head to Brandon! Catch the concert at the Keystone center and then head out with the Big Blue Machine for a night on the town!
We'd love to have you!

Cleaned My Glasses
No...there is no hidden meaning here... I actually cleaned my glasses today.
I doubt very much if I would have noticed the difference but it's a beautiful day in the Peg and I'm on the bus. The city is almost pretty.
Today is Monday folks! I have come to find myself waiting for Mondays eagerly. What kind of a sick person loves Mondays? I'll explain myself.
I work 7 days a week. So I don't look forward to weekends in the same way. Mondays, however, are juvenile band days. It's amazing how fast kids learn, and I'm always excited to be challenged again and again each week.
Tonight is even more special, it's our AGM for the organization. Sure most bands don't relish AGMs but ours are quick, productive, and painless. Usually followed by a pint somewhere.
It's a great chance to meet, recap our successes, discuss our issues (if any), and plan our future year.
The only downside to this is we don't make any music. But there's band tomorrow night!!
----------
In some other news we had a fantastic weekend of piping here in Winnipeg and across the prairies. The Erin Street Pipe Band hosted their annual Mad Plaid event and the Irish Club and once again brought Mr. Terry (Currently the World Pipe Band Champion P/M) Tully to town for a concert, and to judge the contest.
I was working......
But from what I've heard already, it was a great event full of great music and comraderie.
That's about all the updates from here.. I have to go listen to my ipod we have a huge concert in two weeks.
Cheers,
Sean
