Keep in mind we don’t know if Zilker will be having a public tree lighting
event yet.

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?

Subject: [acweboard] Zilker Information
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.
