Bravo, orchestra, for another wonderful concert!

And a special thank you to violinist Thomas Halpin for a beautiful Vivaldi performance!

We are starting up again on March 16th Tuesday evening at Cheektowaga Central. We will be having a short rehearsal about an hour and a half, with no break, just early dismissal and no refreshments. The Cheektowaga Central Schools are closed on April 20th, so we will likely have that rehearsal at another venue. I do not know yet if/when we will have any break over Easter. Information will be sent out when availablet. Also, since the ChkCentHS musical is on April 16, 17, & 18, the 2 rehearsals previous (i.e., 6th and 13th) may not be in the bandroom. We will have more information about that at our first rehearsal.

Thus far, rehearsals are scheduled for:
March 16, 23, 30
April 6,13,20,27

All rehearsals (unless otherwise noted**) are on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 10:00 pm in the bandroom of Cheektowaga High School, 3600 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY. (Directions) Again this year, we must enter the building through the double glass doors that face Union Road at the end of the handicapped ramp. The back door of the bandroom is an emergency exit, and may generate a silent (sometimes not so silent) alarm if opened.

Upcoming concerts:

Flag Day Concert: Sunday, June 13th at 7:30; Cheektowaga Town Park
Rehearsals will be: May 11, 18, June 1, 8

Polish Cultural Festival: Thursday, July 15th at 7:30; Cheektowaga Town Park
Rehearsals will be four (TBA) Tuesdays prior to July 15 (Please reserve the Potential dates: June 15, 22, 29, July 6, 13)
