Auld Lang Syne

Betsy

If you’re able, we’d like to invite you to take a few minutes on New Year’s Eve (evening, sometime between 7-8pm local time, or whenever is convenient) and perform at least one verse of Auld Lang Syne on whatever instrument you choose (including voice) outside. It’s not a nationwide movement (yet) but rather a way to connect to the change in the years as a musician, joining our “voices” to celebrate the old year, and anticipate the new. Don’t have that one in your repertoire? These guys do, in a variety of keys and for all the instruments:

UPDATE for all Members

Betsy

Hello Everyone! Hope you are all doing well and staying healthy!

Thank you to everyone who responded to our questionnaire.
We will wait longer to resume indoor rehearsals.
We will not be scheduling a concert until possibly the end of July or in August. If so, we will only have one concert.
There was some interest in holding outside rehearsals in smaller group settings. This may be able to happen with everyone having and bringing their own equipment.

Best Regards to you all!
