Eagles cover band pops concert in April
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:26 am
One of my per-service orchestras canceled its February concert - which would’ve been fun: a bunch of light classics that are also identified as movie music. It wasn’t a virus-related cancellation, but something else: a facility-use issue. Needless to say, it was disappointing.
The music director has dual citizenship, and his family is in the other country. He has recently arrived back here, anyway, because the plane ticket and other arrangements were already made for him to come for February, and he has other orchestra business to do in the month of February.
I’m receiving texts and Facebook private messages that he and the trombone section are organizing a “hang” here at blokeplace involving liquid refreshments, (probably Cuban) cigars, and smoked pork for next weekend, so I guess we had better clean the ‘place up a little bit.
There is not a March concert, but - coming up in April - a cover band is coming in - with their arrangements - to play a bunch of Eagles music with the orchestra. I will probably (??) be playing cimbasso again for the entire concert.
This orchestra does fantastic pops concerts.
