Hello Musicians,
In this message you'll find:
Concert Program
Here is an advance copy of the concert program. Note that the page order may seem strange when you print the program - that's because the file is intended to be printed double-sided and then folded. Also be aware that some computer setups may require you to download the linked files first in order to print them. Of course, we will have programs available at the concert for our guests.
Concert Logistical Details
Most of this is what we've told you before, but there are a couple of new items. New items are indicated in bold italics.
The concert takes place Sunday April 14 in the Sanctuary at Woodroffe United Church, 207 Woodroffe Ave, starting at 2:30pm. Donations will be gratefully accepted at the door, with a view to supporting the non-profit musical endeavors of ONHB and OrKidstra.
PLEASE NOTE: Only stage crew, percussion and refreshment set up volunteers may enter the church at 12:30 – please be quiet as church activities will still be in progress and we are not officially booked in until 1:30.
Musicians are reminded to ARRIVE AFTER 1:15 pm – church activities and set up for concert ONLY before this time.
Several bands will share the same room to store belongings and for warming up. During the short break at 4:15, concert band members will pick up belongings as jazz bands are warming up.
To avoid problems, stash belongings as indicated below. Enter and exit quietly to respect the warm up time of other groups.
Please clean up any puddles from your instruments in the warmup rooms and the sanctuary.
Stands:
- Bytown BB musicians will leave their stands on stage following their performance for other concert bands to use.
- Capital Crescendos will bring 20 extra stands to the stage for their performance, and leave them in place until the end of the concert band concert.
- Jumpin' Jazz will bring their stands to the stage and leave for jazz bands
- PLEASE MARK STANDS FOR EASY ID (name, band, plus small ribbon or coloured sticker).
David Hooton is Stage Manager - Please do not move any chairs on stage unless asked.
Entering and exiting the stage - BB will be on stage before the concert start time. All other bands will enter from the hall door nearest the stage. Percussion and back row, starting with people at conductor's view left hand, can enter from the ramp; the other rows can enter, from back to front, from the floor, using the front stairs. Each band waits until the previous band has exited, the stage has been adjusted by the stage crew for them, and Dave the stage manager gives a signal.
