For all those fairy tale lovers out there: Once Upon A Time was an amazing series (but stop at the end of season 6) I also enjoyed (and am anxiously awaiting the next seasons of): the Witcher upload miss Maisel the great

I would suggest two books: Luke and Acts. They tell the story of how Christianity started. They were written for a person who wanted to know about the new movement sweeping the Middle East and Europe. Lots of action.

@Pualanasn thank you!

A combination of arabinose polysaccharides and triglyceride lipids, along with 1,3,7-Trimethylpurine-2,6-dione, emulsified in a dihydrogen monoxide solution. (Also known as coffee. Try ordering it at Starbucks or Tim's this way!!)

@Marie-Limanni I'm letting my fingers crossed for you

@julian We would have to go out and recruit someone who met the qualifications.

@gordon Connecting with others and playing as a group again even if we couldn’t hear each other. It just felt like we were playing together again. Or on the other hand I can say all you guys sounded fantastic!

Hockey Night in Canada and The Incredibles

Attached are the minutes from the April meeting. Please review and let me know of any errors. Thanks. EXECUTIVE MEETING Minutes April 22.pdf

@gordon I am partial to military music, due to the fact that I am an Army Brat! Since most of the music was written in the UK, I guess that is my country of choice. I remember my Father playing Regimental marches (he was the DM (NCO) for the 1st Independent Signals Corp's Drum and Bugle band - now 31 Signals based out of John Foote Armories). My Mother was from Britain, also in the military (a commissioned officer in the Medic Corp - 11th Field Ambulance), and loved Scottish Pipe and Drum music. The annual Fergus Highland Games was frequently attended by our family. I grew up also listening and appreciating Big Band music from my Aunts and Uncles who fought in WW2. But military music is my favorite! So long story short, like Gordon I love marches! I guess my 8 year tenure in BTTB also plays a part in this.

@gordon If there is a band arrangement that includes pieces such as Singing in the Rain, April in Paris (music from the film Easter Parade with Judy Garland), Rustle of Spring (Christian Sinding), Spring Affair (Donna Summer), these can remind me of spring.

I've actually learned a bit of ukulele. I asked for an instrument for Christmas, and I'm working on a few beginner pieces. The latest is "Margaritaville." Some chords are still tough, and I certainly don't want to take on anything with six strings.

Hi All. I've attached the meeting minutes. Please let me know if there are any corrections to be made. Thanks. March 25 BCB Exec Meeting.pdf

I have been able to procure an arrangement of John William's "March to 1941", from the movie "1941". Also, I do hope that we will be able to present De Meij's Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings".

Not having to drive to work everyday in traffic.

What does miss the most about the pandemic is going out and watching live music whether it be a small or larger venue. Attending with friends together at these events, enjoying one another’s company is definitely missed.

I played a piece called Sonatina for Trombone for my graduating recital at Western. It was described as a blend of traditional triadic structure and dissonance governed by twelve tone aggregates. Aside from being technically very difficult, the real challenge was making all the odd sounding harmonies and collections of note like listenable music. It was very odd, ultimately rewarding, but I don't think I'd ever go in that direction again!

Barbershop Quartet! "Baby on board, How I've adored, That sign on my car's windowpane." I think it would be a riot.

I've always thought Rachmaninoff Symphony 2, movement 3 is just about the most romantic sounding thing. Rachmaninoff seems to do well on the romance front!
