Our next event is Tuesday , June 30th . That's a regular rehearsal night and the ODCB and Warrick County Schools are hosting a concert by the Indiana 38th Army Infantry Division Band from Indianapolis. The Army band is planning a full program of about 1 1/2 hours and at this point we are unsure exactly what role the ODCB will be playing. Jerry and the Army Band director are still working on the protocol. It's been pretty much decided that this will not be a side-by-side concert. Details are to follow but we'll likely be doing four or five tunes from the list for the Henderson Fireworks concert before the Army band takes over.

Here are the tunes you need to have on hand for the next rehearsals:
Music Selections for JULY 3 , 2026 in Audubon Mill Park on the Ohio in Henderson.

Warm-ups. (I don't recall at the moment but one of them we've been using is #701 - "Salvation is created")

3. #564 – Georgia on my Mind
4. #026 – Washington Post March

The Band did an awesome job at Rose Hill today! I always receive several good comments about our participation. We've been performing for this event for well over twenty years. We had 47 musicians today and I seem to recall that we only had ten or twelve in the early years. A shout-out to Jerry for exploring a new seating location this year. It's always a challenge to try to avoid all of the gravestones, gopher holes, and tree roots.

Our next event is Tuesday, June 30th. That's a regular rehearsal night and the ODCB and Warrick County Schools are hosting a concert by the Indiana 38th Army Infantry Division Band from Indianapolis. The Army band is planning a full program of about 1 1/2 hours and at this point we are unsure exactly what role the ODCB will be playing. Jerry and the Army Band director are still working on the protocol. It's been pretty much decided that this will not be a side-by-side concert. If we do play a piece or three to open the program it will likely be something from the fireworks show we are doing in Henderson on July 3rd.

Here are the tunes you need to have on hand for the next rehearsals:

We are scheduled to play for the Rose Hill Cemetery Memorial Service Saturday morning. Call time is 9:45am with a quick rehearsal at 10 and a program downbeat at 10:30. I've not heard anything from the cemetery or The American Legion post about cancellation. Watching the radar.... it looks like the rain is supposed to clear out by daybreak. Feel free to use your own judgement.

My driveway is clear and should be enough to park well over twenty cars if you try your best to 'pack em in'. Don't worry about getting parked in. We'll get you out afterwards. There may be some parking on the grass at the lower level across the street from my house but trying to park on the road going into the cemetery is strongly discouraged. Cemetery will pick you up at my house and take you up the hill to the performance site. Chairs will be furnished.

If anything changes I'll try to get the word out via email and Facebook.

I printed out all of the "Washington Post March" Sousa-Yoder #26 parts... added our library number... and created a new .pdf file. The new file was attached to your last email and is also on the Google Drive. I think the only parts that have changed are the treble clef euphonium and trombone parts but you might want to check the new file against the part you already have.

Reflecting on Jerry's suggestion last night about part assignments... it's important that all the parts to all of our tunes are covered. The part you are asked to play may change from one rehearsal or concert to the next. When you print your part you should consider printing also alternate parts. If you ordinarily play 1st... it would be good for you to also print the 2nd part and so forth. On a flex arrangement if you normally play the 5th part it would be helpful if you also have the 4th part as long is in the same key or playable range. If you play 2nd... also print out a 3rd and so forth.

Repeating...

- No BBQ tomorrow.
- The 'Little' Old Dam Band will meet on Saturday at 9am. The lift is working so you won't need to climb the stairs (unless you really want to!).
