More of us on Youtube

1.  Thanks to Donna for the video postings of the small group performance at the retirement home.  Great job!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFhUDbwY1HI 2.  Hans Horn sent us a bass trombonists needed note:  Do you have any classical-friendly bass trombones in your little black  book of trombonists?  Coastside Community Orchestra is looking for a  bass trombone for a concert on Feb. 5 with rehearsals on Jan. 19 and Feb 2.  If you're free to do this your info will be forwarded to the appropriate source.   See you Thursday!

Rehearsals start, come join us!

We will be enjoying the best part of our season, reading through hundreds of years of great music written for the trombone ensemble.  Student or pro, everyone will get something out of every rehearsal! Please come join us this Thursday and every Thursday evening at Santa Clara High School Band room at 7:30 p.m.  New music is in the folders! For more info go to www.southbaybones.org.   See you Thursday.

Christmas in the Park tonight .... downtown San Jose.

Saturday's performance

We're looking at a huge storm Saturday night but we've been working so hard that we can decide if we want to perform at another venue at the same time.  We have available a small church sanctuary in south San Jose or possibly a convalescent hospital.  We can decide what we want to do tomorrow night, so keep practicing!

This week's dress rehearsal

As in past dress rehearsals we should have down beat right at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday to polish up our performance and we don't have to go late (Drew, can you open the bandroom at 7:15?).  Please try to be there on time.

thursday rehearsal

1.  The group wishes to rehearse this Thursday (Veteran's Day for some of us) so we'll meet and work on our Dec. 18 performance (not too many rehearsals left).  Please come join us!   2.  It looks like Trombone Day at California State East Bay will not happen this year - there's been no notice about it - but there will be a big one state wide in February.  We'll discuss possible attendance at reheasal: http://www.tromboneday.com/

6 days 'til Christmas

Only 6 rehearsal days until Christmas in the Park, that is. Let us know if you are out of town but would like to join us and we'll put music in the mail for your.  The music requires at least 3 rehearsals for a passable performance, at least 4 (with the help of our regulars) for one we should be proud of. See you Thursday!
