Gigs, clothes

Re: gigs -

1. Black Cat Music launch may be on Thursday evening June 5 if enough artists can make it then. We would be playing 2 numbers, we could be in and out and back at the books in half an hour. Could everyone rsvp please and let me know so that I can advise whether or not we can be there? Thanks!

2. April 26th - the Shallaway concert, 7:30 at A&CC. Could everyone rsvp to let me know if they can attend this? Please, everybody make every effort to be at class on the 19th! We need to all be there to practice not just the tunes but getting from one tune to the next as well - moving around, looking professional! Those of you who are introducing, can you bring your introductions to class? Thanks!

3. Scotia McLeod conference - Emile Benoit class. Friday May 23rd, arrive 6:30 play from 7:00 - 7:45.

4. This Sunday, April 13! We've been invited to perform at the Fiddlers Association Gathering this Sunday at 2:00, in Mmap - that's where the old art gallery used to be. It will be a session, we will play a few numbers first and then we are welcome to stay and join in the fun. The Beginners class will join us for this gig. I know some people are at Youth Orchestra, everyone else, please RSVP so I have an idea of numbers and what repertoire to choose.

5. A youth group of fidders are coming from Manitoba June 6-9 to visit St. John's. There may be a performance associated with their visit - I'll keep you posted!

Clothes

I went and spoke to Julia at Abbeyshot. She says it will be more expensive if everyone has their own design - she suggested we stick to a couple or three. We can still have input into what kind of style we want, so if you have wishes about sleeves or necklines or the like, visit the blog (stepfiddlers@blogspot.com) and comment or email me back. She will make some drawings for us to look at and have some samples of material for next class, on the 19th. Anyone (parents or fiddlers) who would like to see these I will have them in the Instrumental room at 12:15.

See you on Sunday!
