Hello everyone,

Thank you to all who have been playing with the Alesia Band. I think we have been sounding great!

We have a concert this Saturday from 6 to 8:00PM. The report time is 5:30. I know there is a number who will be away so if you are available, I certainly would appreciate your presence! We will be playing from the A side of the concert lists.

From Manchester, MD Rt 30 heading South towards Westminster. Go about 5 miles and turn left on Hampstead Mexico Road. Go about 1/2 mile and turn right on Leisters Church Road. Go about 1/10 mile to church.

827 Leisters Church Rd, Westminster, MD 21157

These summer performances are held outdoors unless it rains and we're moved inside to the church or social hall.
You will need to bring:
Your own music stand (I have extras for those who need to borrow)
Clothespins or paper clips so your music does not blow away
Spectators should bring a lawn chair

Dress will be white short sleeve dress shirt, gray or black pants, black socks and black dress shoes. (or closest you can get!) If you have some sort of black neck tie, you may wear that also. If you have the Alesia uniform, wear that!

Guest Conductor will be Josh Vyskocil.
