STRING BAND<br />
Greetings from your String Band,<br />
Hope everyone had a great summer. It sure was a hot and wet one!<br />
We had a work weekend for the parade float on August 18 & 19. New lights were installed, work done<br />
on the sound system, and the new generator was installed and bugs were worked out. The interior of the<br />
float was cleaned and painted, and some of the exterior was touched up. It looks great! Thanks to everyone<br />
that used their time and talents to make the float look like new again.<br />
A music committee was formed consisting of Kermit Ohlinger, Bill Bechtel and myself to work on<br />
putting together a new parade music book. We will keep some of the old songs but add some new. The<br />
Larry Christman new songs will be transposed for all instruments. With the busy upcoming parade season, we will probably<br />
introduce this new format to the group and begin rehearsals during the winter break to be ready for the<br />
March Circus.<br />
The parade gods were looking down on us for the Shenandoah parade. It was a beautiful day, no rain and low humidity. We had<br />
a great turn out of musicians, the float looks great, we sounded great and there was a good crowd of spectators. We drove past the<br />
place where the best kielbasa in PA is made.<br />
Don’t miss the upcoming String Band Picnic on Sept 30 at the Complex. Joann has worked hard organizing it and many of the<br />
past Potes will be attending. The String Band will be playing, so bring your instruments.<br />
We all had a great time at MASA this year. Congratulations to the String Band for taking first place trophy in the Parade.<br />
See you at the fall parades.<br />
Remember...there is always an open invitation for musicians to play in the String Band. Rehearsals are the second Wednesday<br />
of each month at 7 p.m. at the Complex.<br />
With the support of our Ladies, our purpose is that we might play our instruments so that someday a physically challenged child<br />
may walk and play again.<br />
