Below is the rehearsal and performance schedule for this year's Rum
& Onions band, co-led by Janet Mills and Amy Zakar. This is a
REHEARSED open band; attendance at all rehearsals is expected unless
you get prior clearance to miss (with few exceptions made). It is a
marvelous experience. If you are interested in joining R&O this
year, please email Janet Mills at
----- Janet's band announcement follows -----
Well, here it is! The 30th Rum
and Onions!
Below is the rehearsal schedule.
Please note that the actual event
is on Saturday, Oct 24th.
It is NOT on Hallowe'en itself, which is Saturday
Oct 31st this year.
Also, there are many afternoon rehearsals this
year. Three are due to room reservation conflicts with other
groups and one is because of Yom Kippur. With so many afternoon
rehearsals we're hoping for more young people. Can you think of anyone
(of any age) you'd like us to invite?
We would like you to let us know before the end of August or sooner:
Personnel: Please RSVP to Janet Mills (
) as
soon as you know whether or not you will be able to play this year, and
your preferred instrument.
Sound and Setup: Please RSVP to Amy Zakar (
) if you can
volunteer to run the sound system for rehearsals (sorry, can't go all
acoustic) or set up the hall at any of the rehearsals. Amy is
also taking tune suggestions.
Refreshments: Let's
do it alphabetically by last name. We think that there will be about
10 people each week. Cups are provided by PCD. Please bring snacks
and/or drinks.
Interesting factoid: You will note
that we are not referring to this year's R&O with its Roman
Numerals in the email. We'll let you know why at the first rehearsal.
(Care to try and figure it out?)
Please contact us if you have any
questions. This is going to be a fun year! We're looking forward
to it! Your band
directors, Janet Mills and Amy Zakar
