Times and Places

Here's a little info for the Students who are playing the Candle Tea on Friday.

Please meet Scott in the New Fellowship Hall...the brick building at the end of the sidewalk to the left of the OFH where we have practice...at about 5:40 to tune. You will be playing from 6:00 till 7:00 and Scott can show you where to set up. I may not be easy to maneuver yourself into the group if you come late. Space will be a little tight, so please try to arrive no later than 5:45.

Our performance time is a popular time for people to drop in at the Candle Tea, so the parking lot is likely to be full. You can park along the street, but anticipate having to walk a block or two.

If you are playing the candle tea, please wear something besides jeans and T-shirts. You do not have to dress up, but nicer pants or khakis and a blouse or polo shirt would be better for this event. If girls choose to wear skirts, please choose one that is not extremely short. You will find that many of our hosts at the church will be wearing traditional Moravian attire for this event.

Those of you who are playing the Camelot Christmas Festival should begin to look for accessories and attire that suggests Renaissance period clothing. We are still looking for some things to bring that we might share with you, but it is looking less and less likely that we will find much in children's sizes that is not cost prohibitive. THEREFORE...thou must do thy best with thine own wardrobe!

If you have still not signed up for an event this weekend, we encourage you that is is not too late! Transportation can be arranged with others who are going to Raleigh if this is a problem. We need as many of you as we can get to participate either Saturday or Sunday!

We will be set up in the Kerr-Scott building at the State Fairgrounds. There are some places we can busk between gigs if we want to. After I return from setting up tomorrow, I should have a better idea of how and where we will be able to meet on Saturday and Sunday. It may not be as "user friendly" as the festival at Regency Park in that I doubt anyone will just let you in to pick up your passes, but I'll send more information after I have a chance to check everything out tomorrow.

Once again, as far as we know now, our gigs are at 10:30 AM, 12:45 PM and 3:45 PM both days. The gates open at 10:00 AM so we will need to be there with bells on ready to tune and welcome the guests into the festival. There are other festivals and events happening at the fairgrounds that week also, so traffic will be busy.

Reminder for GDS Small Groups!!!
Monday...yes the day after this busy weekend... is small groups at the Day School.

Okay, That's all I have until I check out our digs at the Fairgrounds. THANKS for the great show at McPherson's last night. I think it was our best performance this year! We made about $50 in tips, thanks to our dedicated and lovely collection team. Nice job, everybody!

See you all this weekend!
