Tickets now on sale for the Winter Concerts!
Thank you! The dust hasn't yet settled from the winter concert and I want to express my deepest thanks for your part in a wonderful evening.  It was a marathon of a concert (I've made some notes on doing things a bit differently for next year...) filled with great music and enthusiasm all in a great venue at the Bankhead Theater. 

On a personal note, thank you for the very thoughtful gift.  I am always sincerely touched by the generous spirit with which you include me as a small part of your extended families.  Happiest and safest of holiday seasons to each of you and may the best be in front of you for 2013!

Fiesta Bowl almost here! Hard to believe after almost a year of planning that our trip is almost here.  Keep in touch with all of the latest information via the newsletter and the website.  A packing list is posted on the website and any additional updates will be communicated there.  The team of volunteers organizing the trip is working tirelessly to ensure a good, safe, and memorable time for the band.
