Tim here again. Thanks for keeping yourselves posted with the going's-on of the CSBQ with our little blog here!
Last Sunday we played an outdoor gig at a 55+ vacation community in the middle of CT. Except for the on-and-off rain and the wind blowing our music stands over, the concert was a success and the audience really liked it. Even got some requests for CD's...when we get back to Minneapolis a CD is on its way.
Last week was a fairly light week...our coach - Allan Dean - and the 5 of us were in and out of Norfolk, so we mainly talked repertoire, business, and more kiddie show ideas.
I just finished an arrangement of The Muppets' "Manamana" for our K-4 educational show. We think it'll be a big hit with the little kids. If you know the tune (and if you don't, YouTube it!), it's got the tuba as "Manamana", the 2 trumpets and trombone as the "Do do do do do" folks, and me on percussion...and it's got lots of choreography, of course! Should be fun.
Thursday and Friday we went down into New York City to see friends and hang in Manhattan. Nice to get away for a couple days!
That's about all from quintet-land. We have a show tomorrow for an arts council up in Monterrey, MA. Tunes on the show: Bankersangerlieder, Mauer 3 Pieces, Ewazen Colchester Fantasy, Michael Kamen Quintet, Toreador song, 3 tunes from West Side Story, Ain't Misbehavin', and others. Should be fun (and it's not outside, so no wind to contend with). :-)
More soon!
Tim
