brassomaniac Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Here we go again! There is precious little time to prepare entries for the upcoming BHOF shows in Garfield (2/28) AND Bridgeport (3/28). We'll have a first rehearsal to get things rolling again on 1/7, take a week off, and then begin work in earnest on 1/21, with barely more than a month to prepare. If you're up to the challenge, and want to participate, you should be on board by the 21st. Need ONE low brass player and ONE mello. We would also consider one or two additional, exceptional players. You can keep track of the rehearsal sites, etc, at: CB! Calendar And e-mail your interest to: tommacd@nycap.rr.com Quote

No. I don't know WHAT tunes we'll perform yet, but I'll have a pretty good idea of what they'll be, by the 21st! Partly will depend on whether or not we pick up the 2 players we need, in January. We've got a couple of great prospects, if they just make it to rehearsals, once we get started. Edited December 30, 2008 by brassomaniac Quote

Calendar And e-mail your interest to: tommacd@nycap.rr.com Would also like to add a mallet player this year (for xylo and accessory parts). And we may need another set drummer.. possibly for contest appearances. But participation in these could get you additional gigs as well. Edited January 1, 2009 by brassomaniac Quote

brassomaniac Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) The CB! spring contest season has expanded... with possible competitions thru mid-June. Openings for a baritone and/or tuba. Would also add a xylo player. Also ONE additional player, in any section, COULD find a home with the right experience, attitude and commitment to excellence. Rehearsals begin 1/21. Schedule: HERE Edited January 18, 2009 by brassomaniac Quote
