A reminder to all ex-Point Grey Music students, alumni night is Wednesday June 20 at 6:30 pm. If you were once a member of the Point Grey Symphonic Band, dust off your instrument and we will try and remember how to play…. something. If your instrument has mysteriously gone missing, I can probably loan you something for the evening. It’s a great opportunity to reconnect with some of the people you spent so much time hanging out with in our little band room. As always, we will play for a while and then go catch up at the Manchester on Broadway. So reach out to your classmates and invite them along. I am expecting, but not promising, an appearance by a certain former band teacher. See you there.

Night of Jazz is this Friday the 11th, starting at 6:30. Tickets are $5 for students and alumni, and $10 for adults. As always there will be refreshments and door prizes.  This is an estimated time-line for the evening.

7:25 – Combo 1

Victoria itinerary

It is imperative you arrive by 5:45 am with your instrument, music, and luggage. Please check the packing list in an earlier post.

I will post the complete itinerary for Victoria. In the mean time here is what you need to know. In order to catch the 8 am ferry from Tsawwassen to Schwartz Bay we must arrive at the school at 5:45 am to load the buses. It will save us time if on Wednesday evening you take your instrument home with you so we can load quickly Thursday morning.

We are staying at the Best Western Carlton Plaza in downtown Victoria. We are returning on the 11 am ferry Sunday morning. Our arrival time at Point Grey should be around 1:30 pm.
