Also on Westminster:
We are only going to have 1 or 2 percussionists, and a few others are going to
be very short on part coverage. We need to make sure we have enough to
perform.

On the subject of Westminster, the brass band played there last night. There
is no longer a window behind where the band sits. There is a small platform
in front of that new wall. Not sure if any of our percussion will fit on it.
The brass band set up in front of the platform, which pushed the band a bit
further into the room. I suspect it will be about the same with ACWE. There
is a hard wood dance floor, which helped the sound of the band some, but the
room is still extremely dry (lacking in reverb).
We were told we all had to check in at the front desk. This process was done
on a single iPad and took a couple minutes per person. That means it would
take all of ACWE people well over an hour to check in. You have to answer
some questions and then it takes your temperature. The response time of the
device was rather sluggish. We should ask if we can bypass this, but I
suspect they won't want to do that. People should plan to get there earlier
to deal with this. Maybe we should schedule different arrival times for
different sections so not everyone hits it at once?

That was a fast response. : )
We just completed our Spring concert season with 55 players. I can
definitely see if players will carpool.
I would like to get back to you in the next few weeks once I can get a
better idea of the numbers of players for the Fourth of July concerts.
Those numbers tend to fluctuate.

Hello Ellen, yes we are all set for June 28th. We would love to have the
Christmas program and the program by the flute choir. I am in Dallas for a
conference and I return to work only on Thursday. Hope I can get back to
you then about these. I will hold dec 13th for the concert.
Btw, how many musicians will there be on June 28th? Due to the
construction, our parking spaces are limited. Is there any way some can
carpool?
Thanks.

Good Morning Ruth,
I am following up to confirm that the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble will be
playing a concert at Westminster on June 28 at 7:00 p.m.
Also I would like to see if Westminster would be willing to host a holiday
concert for Austin Civic Wind Ensemble on Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at
7:00 p.m.
Another group that I play in is the Violet Crown Flute Choir. This is an
ensemble made up of players mostly from the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble
flute section. I am reaching out to see if the residents of Westminster
would be interested in hosting a concert for the flute choir in either the
end of September or the beginning of October. The best times for the group
would be either a Saturday afternoon/evening concert or a Sunday afternoon
concert. The music that the group is currently working on is mostly show
tunes. Please let me know if there is interest in hosting this. We would
enjoy playing for the residents.
Thank you,
Ellen Knapton
