Our illustrious Director of Music (DOM) has not been well and we are all very concerned for his well-being. Prolonged periods of difficulty from multiple sources seem to rain down at times, but it is a comfort to know that they don't go on indefinitely...prayers and love to our dear DOM. I think some home-cooked meals are in order upon his return!
Yet there's a renewed vigour following our European Tour of last year and with the injection of new members at the start of this year. The sax section is on top of things, as could only be expected! Jeanette and Jim here never miss a beat (nor do the rest of the troop for that matter, being Jiro, Kieran, Ervin, John, Gilbert and myself hehehe). Wow, eight of us - surely an indomitable force!Mr Grieve is such an encouragement and inspires us into closer study of our instrument. If I hadn't joined the band at the beginning of 2007, I'd find it difficult to play WITH others spontaneously, as Steve says, with ensemble, which until then, I didn't know this meaning of - now it takes on a greater significance. I love how words originate and evolve in the scope of their usage.
I know that not many people have gotten on board with Twitter yet, but I've started a Twitter account for the GKs. It may be a useful tool. I'm putting updates on as they come up. Marnie has also set up a Friends of the Golden Kangaroos mailing list which is such a simple and effective way of keeping interested parties in touch with our goings-on, news and events.
Being a largely visual person (although I think that term is simplistic) I have to include one last photo for now, with our energetic President in a most comfortable position - up the front, talking :P Honestly, thanks for all that you bring to the table, Warwick :)
