- Each Primavera member has his/her own email address: firstname.lastname@brisamba.com. All email sent to this email address will be forwarded to the email address you gave me. I have a mailing list with all these email addresses which I use to send out important and urgent information to all of you.
- Each Primavera member has a username and password to gain access to the "members" area of our main website brisamba.com. Your username is firstname.lastname and you'll receive your password by email. The members area also contains our gig confirmation system which you'll need to let me know when you can play at our gigs (or not). The gig confirmation will shortly be replaced and be integrated with the new website.
- The samba school has its own blog at brisamba.blogspot.com. Of course you knew this already as you're reading this message now! The blog is being used as the main communication between me and the Primavera members, and between the members themselves.
- On the blog, you'll be able to comment on existing posts, or publish a new post yourself. You'll need to log in to Blogger to do this. When you become a Primavera member, you'll receive an invitation from Blogger to set up a username and password. Note this username and password are separate from the username and password for the members area of brisamba.com. Our Blog is accessible to everyone on the Internet, so please have a look at our blog posting guidelines.
- New members will receive a couple of CDs with the songs we play, so they can practice at home, learn our many paradinhas and annoy the neighbours at inconvenient times with the samba school's unique sound!
Thanks, and welcome to Primavera!
