Greetings!
We are "pleased as punch" to announce the arrival of our New Rounders Website!
Special congratulations and a hearty "Thank You" to Lee (trombone) and Linda (flute) Butts who together have put "countless" hours of their time, skill, and design into this new functional website! Our old site served its purpose well, but our new site will excel in providing the access and information you need in regard to YOUR Second Time Arounders!
 The new site is up today at www.secondtimearounders.com. so go take a look!
The Rounders Board, Creative Staff, and Communications Team is excited to introduce this new communications tool. Again, a very sincere thank you to Linda and Lee for their "hours" of work in set-up and design. Cheers to them...Cheers to you all!

| Looking For a Few New Rounders! | | |
Our 2011 season is upon us (really, it is!). The uniqueness of the Rounders in not only in our sound (and age...) but also in our size! We are ALWAYS LOOKING  FOR NEW MEMBERS to join us not only for our regular performance season here in Florida, but also for our extended season this year in Calgary!!! We continue to look to you, our current members, to spread the word among your friends, family, co-workers, congregation members, corner grocer, mail delivery person.... or whomever, to let them know about the excitement of performing in a marching band...one more time!
We have prepared two brand new RECRUITING POSTERS which you can download, print, and post anywhere and everywhere possible, to get the ROUNDERS word out. Oh, and if you don't have access to a color printer, just contact us and we'll mail "hard-copies" directly to you. Our 2011 season recruitment posters can be found...right here.
RECRUITMENT POSTER LINK ONE.
RECRUITMENT POSTER LINK TWO.
One last note about Recruiting: please invite anyone interested to join us at the Harvey's Fourth Street Grill (location might change...but the date won't) on Thursday, January 13 at 7PM or at any of our "FUNdraising" events as well! Once they look us over and see the great time we have (even when not performing) they could very well want to become part of the fun (who wouldn't???)...so please remember this as our "Roundup" and "Holiday meeting" approach. Keep this in mind next year as well, when the 'Spaghetti Dinner' and other yet-to-be scheduled events come up!! Recruitment never stops, and neither should we as well. Know a musician...sign 'em up!
Harvy's Fourth Street Grill*3121 4th Street North*St. Petersburg |
| Musical Petting Zoo...Volunteers Needed! | | Another New Year's Eve...and another opportunity for the Rounders "MUSICAL PETTING ZOO." As part of St. Petersburg's Family  Friendly New Year's celebration, your Rounders are again sponsoring our annual Musical Petting Zoo Friday, December 31 at Baywalk from 4:45-8:00 PM. All that's missing right now...is YOU!
Share your love of music with the children of St. Pete. Looking for  volunteers to help children try out instruments, most for the first time, and incite their urge to join a band in their school. All musicians welcome but in particular please we're looking for "masters" of the Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, and Trombone.
Instruments are provided the only thing you need to bring...is YOU!
Friends, family, non-Rounders, all are also welcome to participate. In addition to helping t hese kids try an instrument for the first time, we also need
Volunteers for crowd control (yes, it gets busy), as well as to help clean mouthpieces and control the giggles and smiles between tweets.
When the kids (and even their parents) "play" their first notes, they often provide BIG smiles. What a terrific way to kick off your New Year's Eve as you'll be smiling the rest of the night just thinking about them.
After the event, those who wish, consider joining us at Harvey's for a toast to the New Year and the future Rounders we just inspired. Volunteering? Contact Ted Barrett as soon as you can at: barrettandbarrett@earthlink.net or call him at 727.733-5012. |
| 2011 Music Run-Through and Calgary Informational Meeting | | |
Two dates of significance for you:
Tuesday, January 4 at Northeast High School...join your Rounders for a run-through of our 2011 Season Music. Baton drops at 7PM sharp!
Tuesday, January 18 at Ferg's Sports Bar and Grill in St. Petersburg...everything you've always wanted to know about your Rounders Calgary trip but* ...(blah, blah, blah). Meet Dennis Rhoads from Music Festivals as he and our own Barbara Keighley take you through the itinerary and trip details; as well as present excursion options for your time in Canada!
See you there! |
