Rain!

Well everyone, it looks like we have a chance for rain this week, both for tonight's rehearsal and for Friday night's game! Just a few reminders as we encounter rain:


  • Be sure you have applied camp dry or a similar product to your raincoat and your garment bag. You will be thankful that you have done so after a night of rain!!

  • Be prepared for rain at rehearsal! We will be outside unless it is storming! Come prepared for rain and woodwinds bring cases out in case we need to pack them up.

  • After a night of rain, take care of your instrument! Wipe them down and leave your case open so they can dry. Woodwinds, if you get caught in rain clamp your keys closed so they pads will not swell as they dry.

Other announcements:
