To BFDB Band Members and Guests
Re BFDB concert this Sunday
Please check the attached– updated logistics which contains concert location, program, dress code, and timing for arrival and Sound Check.(Note 1 pm).
I have also attached Andrey’s band seating arrangement–I would be lost without this myself.
It also contains scheduling for the people helping with moving equipment and setting up chairs, etc. [32″ tymp successfully moved on Wed by Alexander and Jason–thanks, guys!! If you could reverse this after the concert, at the fire hall, we would all be appreciative.]
Don’t hesitate to tell me what I have forgotten or what is confusing. My thanks to each and all.

Re Jimmy’s Funeral:
All guests are welcome to the band if they wish and are able to.
This will be at the Baptist Church on 564 Glen Allan Drive, Bridgewater
Saturday, March 28/26 at 2 pm.
For those playing:
Rehearsal for the funeral: Friday, Mar 27, 7-8 pm Friday, at the Fire Hall. Music should be available then. Bring your own BFDB Hymn sheets–these will be made available for any guests.
Music Stands: Following the rehearsal, please assist in carrying all BFDB music stands to the Red Tacoma with Silver Cap. I will bring these to the funeral service and onward to the Sunday concert.
For Saturday’s Service honouring Jimmy:
- Stands….will be in the Red Tacoma by the door (replace on your way out please).
- We will set up in the church on one side of the sanctuary.–I suggest at latest by 12:45-1:15 pm Sat, but not before 12:30.
- 15-20 minute prelude to start around 1:30 pm. This could be Amazing Grace–arrangement played in concert a couple of times. (by all musicians present)
- 2-3 hymns from our normal rehearsal warmup hymn collection (all musicians present) (tentatively: a couple of Aberystwyth #2, Abide with Me #19, Crimond #7, Kingsfold #5, Deep Harmony #8. We will not have an arrangement for I’ll Fly Away at this time, which Jimmy asked for. However it will be sung by family members.
- Dixieland (selected group) to play in place amongst us others. ( Just a closer walk with Thee)
- Stands as needed: will be available from my truck parked near the door hopefully–Red Tacoma with silver cap. Replace what you take after the service please.
- Dress for Sat: wear either a dark suit/sport coat/dress/pants and top, or for those who have it, your Class A Uniform with medals, etc.
Thanks!
