A surprisingly good and well attended rehearsal plus the first committee meeting of 2004.

We had the first rehearsal of 2004 last night at band. It went quite well really; most of the players turned up, in fact I can only think of one player who didn’t turn up who hadn’t got an excuse.

I played reasonably well although my lip gave out in the last half an hour.

We also had a committee meeting after the rehearsal which went on for quite some time, although we still finished in under 2 hours which I don’t think is bad, but when you’re not starting until 10.15pm it is quite late. I suppose we do have a lot to discuss at the moment what with the upcoming AGM and contests, not to mention trying to think of ways of fundraising and getting sponsorship. Louise wasn’t happy about it all the same, but I don’t see what we can do beyond moving it to a different non-rehearsal day.
