We are now into our summer schedule of once a month. Please access the website on occasion for any updates or changes.

 

Last rehearsal we worked on "At Last" as an additional concert tune for the fall / winter standstills. Excellent harmony parts with a solid sound! The music book is slowing expanding.

 

I am told the new shirt tops are in and the donated brass instruments from the Brigadiers will be on the way soon.

 

A date this summer will be selected for a fundraising dinner at the Lakeland American Legion Post. We have been blessed with having someone like Jane to work with the dinners we enjoy after rehearsals. I will decide on a date to have the fundraising dinner sometime in the next 90 days. Minimal people from the Corps will be needed to assist her in running this event. Volunteers will be most welcome!

 

The tribute to Roy Grant at the last rehearsal was a success with the presentation of the framed uniform top as a memorial to his tireless effort in starting the Florida Brass Alumni Corps. Thank you again Roy!!

 

A volunteer in assisting the recruiting effort is needed. This is not a time consuming task. When someone applies or shows interest in Florida Brass, it needs to be followed up with an email or phone call. Our best recruiting tool so far has been the website. Please let me know if you can help in this regard.

 

Respectfully,

 

Richard (Dik) Buelow - Corps Director

Florida Brass Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps
