Band Starts Soon!
Friday, September 2nd, 2016
Greetings, all!
Rehearsals will start Tuesday, September 6th, at 7 p.m., Longfellow M.S. band room. Our first couple rehearsals will only be about an hour long to accommodate holding Tosa Jazz rehearsals at 8pm on September 6th & 13th in preparation for a gig on September 16th.
We’ll again be performing a children’s Halloween concert on the last Tuesday of October, the 25th, 7pm in the cafeteria. Other concert dates are:
Tuesday, December 13th, 7:30pm
Tuesday, March 14th, 7:30pm
Tuesday, May 16th, 7:30pm
If you have been a regular band member and can’t make the first rehearsal, just send me a note so I can mark you down as returning. And if you’ve moved away or are taking time off for work, family, etc., let me know. If you a prospective member and have questions, let me know. You’re also welcome to peruse the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/tosaband.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Tosa Jazz at Eisenhower Back-To-School Party
Friday, September 2nd, 2016
We will be OUTDOORS in the playground right next to the entry doors to Eisenhower Elementary (116th & Center). Electricity will be available; we’ll play right next to the school. The sun will set around 7:30. Lighting may be an issue. I strongly encourage anyone who’s concerned to bring/find a cordless light. We may also have to bring our own folding chairs. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll be playing in the multi-purpose room.
The event is a back-to-school party for children & parents, sort of a carnival atmosphere. One 60-75 minute set.

Wrapping Up
Tuesday, May 24th, 2016
Thanks to all who attended and thanks to the band for an absolutely top-notch concert! Grant was very happy to hear his early composition dusted off and played again. He said that for a few minutes, he was 20 years old again.
When it comes time to reconvene in the fall, Donna will be sending out an email, and information will also be posted here and on the band’s Facebook page. If your email changes, or if your plans change for the fall, please use the contact page to let us know. See you in the fall!
A reminder for those involved, we will be playing the Memorial Day Observance. Please arrive no later than 9:30am, earlier if you are able to help set up. The observance begins at 10:30am. We will perform the first movement of American Sketches, Sousa’s Marquette March, and Travis Weller’s American Visions (and the Star-Spangled Banner). If you can’t make the rehearsal, email Donna or use the contact page to send her a message to get the music in advance.
Tosa Jazz has a rehearsal on Tuesday May 24th prior to summer break starting. Rehearsal begins at about 7:30pm after the Memorial Day band rehearsal.
