300 Norwood Road, Silver Spring
Band room opens at 7pm, rehearsal starts at 7:30pm
Rehearsals end at 9:30pm, band room cleared by 10pm
To make better use of rehearsal time, we ask that people try to arrive by 7:15 to warm up and self-tune prior to the 7:30 start. At 7:30, we will do a quick tuning check, a couple of warmup exercises, and then launch into rehearsing music.

Details:
Saturday Dec 14 - 2pm at Black Rock Center for the Arts in Germantown. Call time is 1:30. Percussion setup will start at 12:30. Address is 12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown MD. We will play indoors, most likely in their ballroom since their stage looks too small for us. There is a parking lot next to the building. Hopefully, since we are playing first, there will still be spots in the parking lot. Otherwise, there is street parking and other shopping center lots in the area.
This is part of their Holiday Market event that runs from 2-6:30pm. It will include a number of school choirs performing outdoors during the day and a craft marketplace and food concessions. You might want to stay afterwards and do some holiday shopping or food tasting.
Wednesday Dec 18 - 7:30pm at Leisure World Clubhouse 1 (not our usual Clubhouse 2 location). Call time is 7:00. Percussion setup will start at 6:00. Address for Clubhouse 1 is 3700 Rossmoor Ave, Silver Spring, MD. We are using the Clubhouse 1 ballroom location now since we have outgrown the stage in Clubhouse 2. To get to Clubhouse 1, enter through the main Leisure World entrance off Georgia Ave (Rossmoor Blvd) and tell the guard you are with the band to give a concert. Follow the signs to Clubhouse 1.:
Our spring semester will start on Wed January 8th.
