Linda Good

for AUGUST 2001

Hello All!

Unfortunately, this is the time during summer where I tend to say, "Summer is almost over." The school supplies are abundant in stores everywhere to remind us that the start of school is near and that another carefree summer is drawing to a close. Fortunately, August is also a time when band rehearsals start up again to soften the blow. August is also an exciting fun-filled concert time for the band and jazz band. Please check our web site calendar for dates, locations and show times. We hope that you are available to attend our performances and support the hard work/fun that we strive to put into each concert.

Our August band member of the month hails from our flute section. She is a fine musician that also fills in as director when needed. She is a friendly person with a great smile. Let's get to meet Mrs. August-Linda Good!

Happily mitted,
Linda Riha
