Hi Team,
Another enjoyable practice night.
We took the opportunity to dive into The Leaving of Liverpool and Wings brackets, along with The Sands of Kuwait. There were a few minor timing wobbles with these brackets (nothing we can’t polish up!), and Sands is coming along steadily – well done! I encourage everyone to carve out some time this week to keep working on these pieces, so we keep the momentum going.
We also spent some time reflecting on our efforts at the ANZAC services and parades. It’s a good reminder of the important role we play in our communities and the strong connections we make through our music. We should all be proud of what we achieved.
And of course, last night we took the opportunity to present the Aaron Award! There were some strong contenders:
Penny, sporting both forward and backward-facing flashes (trendsetter!),
Stephen, who took “misplaced flashes” to a whole new level,
Robert, who almost treated Taradale to a kilt malfunction moment…
But the clear winner this week was Nev, who managed to misplace his bass drumsticks and was left unable to play at the concert at the RSA! A truly award-worthy effort, Nev!
We wrapped up a little early and enjoyed a cuppa, some biscuits, pineapple lumps (of course!), and some good laughs.
Thanks, everyone – keep those tunes ticking along, and see you all next week!
Cheers
Aaron
