Hi Jessica
Can we adjust concert time for Rattan Creek to 6:30. Back of my mind I think
we told the band 6:00 concert time last night.

Hi Ellen-
I've tried to find a time in June that we could make the flute performance
work. Unfortunately the park facilities are rented for most of the month with
various graduation events and parties. We'd love to have you come out for that
at a later date though, if you'd be interested.
Is there anything else you need from me to lock down the July 4th concert? And
is 6:30 still a good time, with an hour for set up? We'll have the chairs
already set out for you.

I’ll take a look at our calendar and see what we can come up with. That
pavilion tends to book up with graduation parties that month, but I’ll see if
we can snag a spot.

One more question. Do you have any slots open for a flute choir performance in
June?
I still need to talk to the flute choir before committing. I am looking for
possible dates.

That works! I’ll make sure the space is blocked off for us from 4pm on.
How exciting!

Hello Christine,
I checked times with the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble board. The board is
interested in a 6:30 concert on July 4. Would this work for you? We would set
up 45 to one hour before concert time.

Good Morning Christine,
Tom Hensle and I would like to set up a time to get together with you to walk
the park area. We are available most week nights after 5 with exception of
Tuesday night. Please let me know if early evening would work for meeting. If
it does please give me a day that would work.
Thank you,
Ellen Knapton

Thank you so much. Let me forward your email to other board members and get
their input on timing for the concert. I will also see if anyone would like to
join me for a walk around the park. I will be leaving for a long weekend. I
will get back to you with more information early next week.

We can absolutely make the evening work. What time were you thinking?
Fireworks are a big deal in this neighborhood since they're legal here, so
people will likely start heading home when it gets dark.
Would you like to come to the park and do a short walk through to choose a
spot? If we're far for you to come, I can always do that with Stephanie since
she lives here in the neighborhood. We have that stage area you played on at
Christmas. It will fit most of the group but some may need to sit around the
front of it. The park is at our disposal, so I'm happy to accommodate whatever
works best for you. We have lots of open lawn, but those areas are not
covered. We also have lots of trees for shade on that side of the park.
There is a road that pulls right up near that stage pavilion and we can mark
off the curb there with cones, to reserve access for you. We also have plenty
of chairs we can use.
I'm really looking forward to this! The neighborhood is going to love it.

Good Evening Christine,
I am wondering if there is any possibility of doing an early evening concert
for Rattan Creek. Please let me know if your neighborhood would consider this.
The band would enjoy performing for your neighborhood. Here are some
considerations for the performance.
* We currently have 50 to 60 members playing. We will need flat to close
to flat space that will allow for this many performers.
* Since we are playing in the summer covered space or space with shade
would be preferred and greatly appreciated.
* We will need access for unloading and loading percussion equipment. We
use a trailer to carry the equipment.
* If it is possible to provide chairs for performers, this would be great.
If not, performers could bring their own chairs.
* Our Fourth of July concerts last about an hour.
* PA or amplification is usually not needed since we are a large group.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

This sounds wonderful! We really enjoyed having the quartet come out for the
holidays.
I've checked with our park facilities manager and he has given the okay to
reserve the stage. We have a parade that morning that starts at 10 and goes
about 45 minutes. It ends at the park, so it would be perfect to have you
follow that if it works timewise for you. It will also beat the worst of the
heat. You'd go on around 11 or 11:30. I'll also see if I can get the Kona Ice
Snow Cone truck,and maybe a lunch truck or two, to come out.
As far as soliciting tips goes, of course! I'd also be happy to promote a
donation link, if you have one, in all of our social media event info.
Let me know of anything else you'd need from my end. I'm really excited about
this!

Good Evening Christine ,
Let the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble make your Fourth of July a musical one. We
are available to perform for Rattan Creek Fourth of July celebration.
We are the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble, a 60 to 70 piece community band of both
professionals and amateur musicians that performs high quality music to Austin
and surrounding communities. We are the band that provides music for the
Zilker Park Christmas Tree Lighting to make it a memorable event. In addition
we have performed at different venues around the Austin area.
Our patriotic concerts will bring memories of the local band playing marches
on a town square on a warm July night. The following link will give you a
sample of music that we have played in previous years for Fourth of July
concerts:

Stephanie Pektas recommended that I contact you. Normally we charge between
$1,500 to $2,000 for an hour Fourth of July concert. Since we are just getting
back together as a group after a long hiatus with Covid, we are willing to
perform the concert with the understanding that the band can solicit tips from
audience members.
Please let us know if you would be interested in hiring us for your
Independence Day celebration. We would appreciate the opportunity to provide
music to the Rattan Creek Community.
