​A reminder that we're practicing Tuesday evening from 7 - 9 p.m. at RHS Band Room. Upper Brass is to bring refreshments this week. Way to go Lower Brass on last week's "feast"! I have a nice number of volunteers for the December 3rd concert event in Orange Beach for the South Baldwin Newcomer's Club luncheon. There will be a sign-up sheet available this week to finalize so I can get the proper parts printed out. Dress for that will be red band shirts and black pants. The upcoming Christmas concerts (Dec. 6, 9 & 10) are indoors so dress is formal (black). 
See you there, Kenny

​It's beginning to feel a little more like Christmas outside to put us in the mood for rehearsal tonight from 7 - 9 p.m. at RHS band room. Low Brass...you are to bring the refreshments for tonight. In other news...thanks to all who came out Sunday evening for Trivia Night. It was a great success. I hope to have some final numbers soon on how much was raised through donations. See you later...BRRR  Kenny

​As a reminder, there is NO rehearsal this Tuesday due to election day, rehearsals resume next Tuesday, November 12, 7 - 9 p.m. at RHS Band Room. Low Brass is on the schedule to bring refreshments! 

Trivia Night is this Sunday from 6 - 8 p.m. at Rotolo's Pizzeria in Fairhope (corner of Fairhope Avenue and Highway 98 / Greeno Road). We still have room for more teams of 10 at $100 per table or you can join a team for $15 each player. There are some really cool door prizes and swag bags, so don't miss out on all the fun while supporting The Baldwin Pops at the same time. Sign up on-line or by calling 278-8530. 

Also, need to know who all is available to participate in the Christmas Caroling performance December 3rd for the South Baldwin Newcomer's Club luncheon in Orange Beach. We'll perform some Christmas songs, I might even sing along, and there's free food and refreshments! 

Thank you in advance for your support of The Baldwin Pops!
