outside in Vermont

I got this notice in my email today. Over the years it has sometimes been a very cold gig. Fingers get to be a problem. Though, I doubt Windy Dreamer would consider this cold! I usually walk the 20-minutes to the site to get acclimated a bit. We usually have about 15 people playing; older members (with more sense than me) tend to forgo this event. But it's nice, we play traditional carols and many of the gathered townspeople sing along. Intonation does veer around, but it's ok.

"The band will once again be playing at the lighting of the Christmas Tree in downtown Springfield, on Friday, December 7th at 5:30 pm. Plan on arriving no later than 5:00 pm...it gets crowded quickly and this will give everyone time to get set up. Santa is scheduled to arrive at 6:00 pm and we will play up until his arrival. We'll be playing near the tree in the People's Bank parking lot, under the light pole. This is an event where you will want to dress warmly and bring hand warmers if you can!

What to bring:

Music stand or lyre - music will be provided. Don't worry if you have never seen it before, it's easy to sight-read.

Gloves (fingerless if you are a woodwind player)

Hats

Warm Coat

Temperatures tend to be chilly and with us playing a week later than normal, plan on temps in the 20’s to low 30’s. We'll be playing after sunset, so it could be cooler. Brass players, please make sure your valves are well oiled. Should the temp get below 32, this will help prevent your valves from freezing."
