What a great start to the year we've had. Besides sinking our teeth into some major classics such as Carmina Burana and Ride of the Valkyries, our new purchases like Ruslan and Ludmilla, Orpheus in the Underworld and William Tell Overture are proving to be a big hit with audiences. Lawn bolws earlier in March went off with a bang, as did the lights at the Toowong Bowls Club. The first gig in the mall this year provided us with a chance to show off some of the fresh pieces and delight the crowd. Now that we have a week off, I'm nearly finished with an arrangement of Big Spender for QWAZZ to use if we can find the right type of singer for it. I hope the Easter Bunny is good to everyone, but try not to blow too much chocolate through your instruments.
