Thanksgiving is Nov 25, so the Zilker Tree Lighting should be Nov 28.

That sounds like a good (and realistic) approach.

Regarding the discussion of a larger ensemble for Zilker, a few of us this
weekend were talking about possibly organizing a small wind ensemble--like
1-2 per part, much like we did this summer--to play at Zilker because we
assumed it was more like what the city would want. However, there wouldn't
be much time for practice, so it feels like me might have to limit
participation to people who could perform the traditional music with just a
rehearsal or two. How would we (Robert?) feel about that, since it would be
pretty unusual for ACWE?

Good Afternoon,
I met with Amanda who is the coordinator for music groups for Zilker. At
this point there is no decision about what the Zilker event will look
like. Here are some of the points discussed in our conversation.
- Zilker tree lighting will not be a virtual event this year.
- If there is a public ceremony band members and public will need to
either present a vaccination card or proof of negative COVID test. The
COVID test must be taken with in 72 hours of the event (the day after
Thanksgiving).
- The options being discussed with the event committee and the higher
ups are to either do a full program, a scaled back program, or just turn on
the tree lights.
- Currently there is no answer in terms of time frame that the
decision will be made. Amanda and the committee are hoping to know what
the decision will be next week.
- I mentioned that ACWE is using small ensembles and has discussed
having a larger ensemble for Zilker. Amanda indicated that she would
prefer a larger ensemble.
I will continue to update the board on Zilker when I have information.
