- Friday, June 7 at 4 PM – Brass Quintet Rehearsal (Smoot Theatre Stage)
Roger Blackburn, Tim Stutler, Luke Zyla, Chris Dearth, Scott Tignor - Friday, June 7 at 6:30 PM – A “Get-Together” (Blennerhassett Hotel)
This is just a time for all to gather, talk about old times and catch up! Each person will order from the menu. (The Celebration will only provide the space... sorry!). Frank Schroeder’s sons will be there! - Saturday, June 8 at 10:00 AM to Noon – Alumni Band Rehearsal (Smoot Theatre Stage)
This event may or may not happen. If our responses show that there are 6 flute players, one tuba and a snare drum who want to participate – not a good idea! But if the instrumentation looks pretty good, we’ll try to make it happen. Could be fun! Stay tuned! We’ll need to see what response we get. The only instruments provided will be timpani, bass drum and mallet percussion. - Saturday, June 8 at 2:00 PM – Big Red Band Documentary by Roger Blackburn (The Smoot Theatre)
If you saw the documentary several years ago, it went through 1965. Roger has now brought the Big Red Band history up to present time. This should be loads of fun for all, no matter what era you are a part of. There is even footage of Band Camp at West Liberty in the 80s! - Saturday, June 8 at 6:30 PM – Big Red Band Banquet (Milestone - 716 Market Street)
More time to visit, entertainment and prizes. The catered meal will be buffet style. Plans are calling for live performances by some former bandsmen! Cost for each person is $30.
