HBH - Location change, potluck, concerts, etc.

Good evening HBHers!

Hmmmm. Where to start? So much stuff...

We will be moving our rehearsals to KALANI HIGH SCHOOL. Starting next rehearsal. Just a tad closer to those coming in frm town... We will be rehearsing in MUSIC ROOM J-1. This is all the way in the back of campus (away from the band and chorus rooms in the front). If you'd like a map, please let me know. 

Next Wednesday is Veteran's Day. There will be no rehearsal that day BUT we will be having a POTLUCK DINNER in our new location at Kalani to help us get situated in our new home. And it's fun to hang with friends. =) NOVEMBER 11 at 6pm. Please come!

Just a reminder if you haven't marked your calendars yet... We have a concert scheduled at HAWAII KAI RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, PHASE I, on DECEMBER 5 at 3:30pm. They will be providing us with a light supper after we're done and also gives us a chance to interact with some of the residents there.

We are also trying to put a together a formal Winter Concert. Jen and I discussed dates and came up with these that hopefully won't interfere with UH finals. December 6 (Sunday), 9 (Wednesday) or 19 (Saturday). Most likely about 6pm or so. If you have any input, please feel free to contact Jen or myself on which days work best for you. Jen will be helping us set up some of our concerts. Thank you for your help Jen... Totally appreciate it!

And finally a warm thank you to Wayne and Niu Valley Middle School for allowing us use of the band room and equipment and giving HBH a home since 2011. We won't bother you making plenty noise or interrupting your work anymore but we hope you come and play music with us when you're not so busy. We are totally grateful for what you do for us. Thank you! You could always bring your work to Kalani... 

Sorry so much stuff. Please pass on this information to those you know that are not on the HBH email list. 

Thank you much,

Gina, still trying to find where my brain went and disappeared to and hopefully I wrote everything my brain was supposed to barf out...

HBH - TYs / No Rehearsal 7/29

Hi.

Just wanted to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules and helping make our Arcadia performance go smoothly. Because of your efforts, we got free juice and water. LOL. Just kidding. We heard a lot of positive comments from some really appreciative residents. Even the resident who went up to Shayna and started talking to her in German cuz she said Harmonisch Blasorchester Hawaii. LOL. Good job on your pronunciation. I still have yet to say that right.

Thank you to Shayna for being our awesome MC tonight. You were awesome. And your German is awesome too.

Thank you to Daniel for being our awesome leader. We follow you to the best of our efforts. LOL. No really, thank you for everything that you do.

And finally a super thank you to Wayne who provides us with a place to rehearse each week, chairs and stands and other stuff to use in the place we rehearse each week, for the use of his truck for moving equipment and stuff and giving up a lot of his time to accommodate us.

And due to a NVMS meeting thingy being held in the band room next week, there will be NO REHEARSAL ON JULY 29. NO REHEARSAL ON JULY 29. NO REHEARSAL ON JULY 29. NO REHEARSAL ON JULY 29. Seeya in August.

I know we don't do many performances anymore. I try my best to go around everyone's schedules first. Don't wanna book someplace and only are only 3 ppl able to show up.

Thank you very very very much,

Gina, your HBH mesg sender.

HBH 2015 Spring Concert

Who: HBHers
What: 2015 Spring Concert
Where: Niu Valley Middle School Cafeteria
When: Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Why: To share our joy of music with others in the community... I guess...

Call time is 6pm. (Was it 6pm?) Pls help move stuff frm the band room to the cafeteria. And the other way too after we're done if can. Aloha attire.

The traditional HBH "formal" concert like this one includes a potluck dinner. This is not only for ourselves but also for those in our audience. Pls bring something edible or drinkable to share. But not so much that we end up having enough food for 50,000,000 ppl though. We encourage those in the audience to eat and relax and eat and enjoy (hopefully) and eat while listening and eating to the music. Plates, utensils and napkins are already covered.

Order of music...

STAGE I:
Where Eagles Soar
Wapawekka
Con te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)
Chanteys

GUEST STAGE:
(Anyone interested???)
I guess we can do a quickie clarinet trio thing that we played for 10 min after rehearsal tonight... Any other things welcome too... I thought some of you guys were doing a sax quartet??? Anyway, just let us know.

STAGE II:
Man of La Mancha
Theme from "Judge Advocate General" (JAG)
Theme from "Case Closed" (コナン)
Arigato (ありがとう)
Carnaval in São Paulo

Emcee anyone? I think we all kinda just volunteered Ben... Ben??? Are you okay with this???

Sorry, I know some of the newer ppl were writing their emails down for me on the sheet of paper going around... But my paper never made it back to me... And neither did my purple pencil... =,( So if you happen to know someone who wanted to be on this list, pls share this info with them.

And pls invite ppl. Or we won't have an audience. Hahaha. 

Did I miss anything???

Thanks.

Gina, your HBH president with very little brain power left...

HBH - Happy New Year

HBHers...

Happy 2015. Thank you for reading my last email and adding yourself to the new HBH email list. I was basically weeding out email addresses of ppl who've either changed email addresses over time and had addresses they were no longer checking and figuring out who actually read anything so I could stop spamming inboxes... Really just cleaning out the email list for the start of a new year. If you know of ppl who want to be on this list, pls send them this way.

Rehearsals will be resuming on January 14 at our usual time and place, 7:30pm at Niu Valley band room. Any objections, pls let me know. LOL. No rehearsal tonight.

Again, if you have any ideas of what you'd like to play, try to play or don't want to play, pls send in your suggestions. And if you have any ideas of other places you'd like to perform at, pls also send your suggestions this way.

I promise to try to get more on it this year. I've been slacking a lot in 2014... Sorry... I know I shouldn't have taken anything out on anyone toward the end of the year. I've been super super super super super stressed out and I was dangling by a string. But it's no excuse for my angry email rants. Any negative anything would set me off and I know I rubbed ppl the wrong way because of my overreactions. Sorry. I promise it won't happen again.

See you guys on January 14.

Thank you,

Gina, not sure if everything being sent above actually makes any sense or not. I think I'm too wide awake for my own good.
