Class Updates March 16th
As the group arrived this morning, so did three police cars, two fire engines and an ambulance. Apparently, a person was hit by a car toward the other end of the parking lot. It was chaotic to say the least. Jim and Blair were trying to load organs on the Keyboard World truck and people who go to the “meth” clinic were tearing in and out of there to get their shots. The engines couldn’t begin to get down to the far end of the parking lot. We saw a policeman walk a handcuffed man up past Keyboard World; then in a few minutes, the ambulance came up that way and put the handcuffed man on a gurney and loaded him into the ambulance. We don’t know anymore than what we saw, but it was crazy there for a while.
Class Updates March 9th
Ellie went over the dates to remember as shown above and on the white board in the Keyboard World Classroom. She asked for titles for Thursday’s gig at Golden Living and for more players, too. Please sign up and call in or send titles by email for the program.
Ellie said she hasn’t called any of the places to reschedule the missed gigs from February, but she will do that for March and/or April. Ron was present at the store this morning, and told the class that this year’s extravaganza venue is going to be really fabulous. He said the room is wide front to back and so people won’t be seated so far back. Also, there will be large 10′ screens on the side walls to project what’s going on onstage…
Class Updates March 2nd
Ellie discussed the Dates to Remember as shown above these Updates and on the white board in the Keyboard World Classroom. She mentioned to the group that the three gigs that had to be canceled because of the snow will be rescheduled. Also, she passed the sign-up book around the room for people to sign up for any of the scheduled activities. People were encouraged to invite former Notables, guests, and friends to join us for the Spring Quarterly on March 23rd at the Midland Fire Hall. Ellie reminded people to pay Rosie for their meals in advance. The current issue of Musically Speaking was distributed in class today. For the Spring Quarterly, people are asked to bring in pictures of one or both parents, (one picture when they were young, another, when they were older, if possible). These pictures will be scanned and the scans will be mounted on a board, which will be displayed at the Spring Quarterly. You will be asked to guess which parents belong with which Notable or Notable guest. The students were asked to give Ellie the pictures ASAP so that the display board can be prepared. Our next gig is March 11th at Golden Living Center.
Announcement
The George’s Creek Gig for today, February 26th has been canceled due to snow and blowing snow and icy roads.
Thanks,
Ellie
