The Weekend

Hi Everyone,


Practice is over, it was a sweaty one. I'm praying for a cooler day for Grade 3 practice, even though I'm just stopping by. It looks like rain today but who knows what will happen.


Great grade 2 practice again last night. I even managed to let the corp have some fun messing with Salute to Max Rayne (we butchered it) and letting Shane (Peanut) our newest recruit try his luck at one of the Marches. He held his own and for a kid his age I'm very impressed with his cool performance.


This weekend is going to be a crazy one. The grade 2 band is off to Thunder Bay to play the Fort William Historical Park Celtic Fair. Natalie McMaster is playing too and I'm a little jealous I'm stuck in Winnipeg gigging with Pop The Trunk. However, I'll get my fix as I'm subbing in with the grade 3 band for the Morris Stampede Parade on Saturday, I haven't played with this band in years and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Keep you eyes peeled for a pack of blue kilts coming your way as the grade 2 band is making it's last public appearance before the plane ride, and the grade 3 band is showing their work horse character as they hit parades all over Manitoba.

Have a great weekend!

Sean
