CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT:
On Friday, 11/20/98 at 9:00 PM, the San Jose Wind Symphony will perform *in
Seattle, WA*, at the Western International Band Conference (WIBC). The
WIBC takes place at the Doubletree hotel located at SeaTac (the airport).
Selections include the "T-Bone Concerto" by de Meij, "The Cowboys" by
Williams, "Symphonic Variations" by Bohmler (a work commissioned by the
SJWS), and several more. I'll be switching back and forth between Eb and
Bb contra. Sorry, won't be bringing the sarrusophones. Actually, I think
I'm crazy enough trying to haul both contrabass clarinets along...If you're in Seattle next week, come and listen!

Subject: Tuba Xmas, Saxophone XmasSan Jose boasts TWO musical holiday aggregations.
San Jose's Tuba Christmas happens Saturday, December 5. Registration is at
San Jose State U. (the music bldg) from 9-10AM, with rehearsal from
10-12:30. The performances will be at Eastridge Mall, from 4-4:30 and
5-5:30. Tubas of all sizes are welcome, from BBb sousaphones to Eb alto
horn. Ophicleides, serpents, double-belled euphonia especially encouraged,
along with any other conical-bore brass pitched lower than a trumpet. This
event brings out well over 100 players, and is worth hearing, even if you
don't participate.San Jose's Saxophone Christmas happens Saturday, December 19. Registration
is at Monroe Middle School, 1055 South Monroe St., San Jose, from
8:30-10AM, with rehearsal 10-12. The first performance is at Christmas in
the Park, downtown SJ at 2PM. The second performance is at Eastridge Mall
at 5:00PM. Saxophones and *sarrusophones* of all sizes are welcome,
especially if you have a size other than alto. I've committed to bringing
my Eb contrabass sarrusophone, and will probably also bring my sopranino
sax. I think Ray will be bringing his Eb contra sarrusophone as well. If
you're interested, please contact Ray Bernd, at
rbernd@campbellusd.k12.ca.us, or 408-341-7000x5046, especially if you'd
like to play one of the less-common horns. This is the fifth annual SJ Sax
Christmas.Enjoy!
