Mrs. Wood in the trumpet section passes on two notes from this week's practice.
First, you are invited to consider joining the Orangeville Community Band, which meets weekly on Thursday evenings. This week (Sept. 20), the rehearsal is at The Maples School, at 7 pm. Here's a link to a pdf of a letter from Community Band Director John Wervers, inviting all interested and keen musicians to give Community Band a try.
Secondly, the band had some fun this week playing an arrangement of Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar. Julie suggests a couple of versions of the piece for your enjoyment and edification.
Email readers, please click through to the blog to view these two videos.

Cheerio for now!
