Message from Heather – March 31st
Dear band members,
Markham Theatre informed us today that they will be closed until May 31st, which of course means that MCB’s May 3rd concert will not take place.
Our VP Doug Hoyle is talking to the theatre staff tomorrow morning to determine what happens next, and the exec is meeting electronically tomorrow evening to discuss what he learns. I’ll give you more details once we have them, probably via email Thursday, but I can tell you for sure that ticket holders will be able to get refunds. (Process not yet clear, and I will share that as well once we have it.)
I sincerely hope that you are all well and safe and staying home as much as you possibly can. The more we all practice physical distancing, the faster this will pass and we’ll be able to play together again.
Message from Doug – March 10th

Doors to the Opera House will only be open at 5:30pm for load in. Band members can enter via the elevator entrance or front door. The elevator entrance is through the double doors – with windows – toward the back of the Opera House, directly across from the Library entrance in the parking lot.
From the elevator, the stage is on the 3rd floor. From the front entrance or ground floor, the stage is on the 1st floor (meaning up the stairs and through the double doors).

Suggestion Box (from Heather – June 19, 2019)
Many of you have given the exec ideas and suggestions, which is great. It’s often hard for us to keep track, though, especially when they’re given at rehearsals and we don’t have a chance to write them down.
