The concert went very well. We had a large and appreciative audience who seemed to enjoy our playing. The program highlights were the Bach "Chorale and Fugue" and the "Selections from A Chorus Line" which was not surprising considering how much time we spent on them! The folders will be emptied at tomorrow's rehearsal which is the last one prior to a restart on January 3, 2023. As the small town newspapers liked to say, back in the day, "A good time was had by all"!

Were genuine Saskatchewan Seal Skin Bindings used in the concert?

Why yes, we were! Buckled right to the seats as we performed the Bach Chorale (not needed so much) and then the Fugue (really needed)
Super Dave Osborne-A Canadian Classic!

Super Dave Osborne-A Canadian Classic!

The funniest show to come out of Canada until Letterkenny.
