PARKING on roads in cemetery. It is highly recommended to come early(at least by 8:30. It is a well-attended event. The earlier you are, the closer you are AND you miss the heavy traffic and road closure.

THE PARADE PART OF TOMORROW'S GIG HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER FORECAST. However, we are playing at Care One in Sharon (675 South Main Street) and we will include veterans' ceremony with our performance. Consequently, you will need your hat, full dress uniform shirt, (and pants, of course). Left hand braid, and gold ascot, black shoes and socks should finish off uniform nicely. This is all in doors so no jackets are necessary. Bring your 2026 music binder, stand, and light, if needed. Bob will bring other necessary music.

Downbeat is at 1:30 pm so please plan to be there by 1 pm. There will be refreshments following the concert and our opportunity to mingle with audience.

Hi everyone! Please assemble at 12:30p in the full marching uniform (hats, white shirt, navy blue pants, ascot, etc). If you don't have a uniform a white dress shirt and black pants will do. The parade is very short, maybe a block or two in length. Don't forget to bring a lyre. Afterwards we will head to the Care One Facility (675 South Main Street, Sharon) and play a few tunes for their Veterans.

We now have a confirmed venue and date for our first spring concert in years. This gives us a performance opportunity to add to our schedule and perform a rare indoor concert sponsored and programmed by ourselves. I feel this is a positive step in the musical growth and direction of our ensemble. Please check your calendars ASAP and respond whether you can participate in the concert on Saturday, April 25th at 3pm.

Taps Across America asks all musicians to play Taps where ever you are at this time with whatever instrument you play. The 24 notes played are a moment of respect for those who gave their lives for us and our country.
