Woodford

All

Some of you will be even more pleased than others: I have just lodged an application for Woodford!

So, keep your agenda free from Christmas till New Year. Hopefully we'll make it for at least one day!

This is all very very exciting!

Gig announcement: 17 June - Pride

All

The next gig will be on Saturday 17 June, when we're again invited to lead the Pride parade, and to do a performance early in the evening. Pretty much the same as last year. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that last year's gig was one of the best ever, with a great crowd.

Please let me know if you can make it by leaving a comment to this post (click on 'comments' below). Details will follow, but assume we parade about 10am, and again play around 5 or 6pm.

I'd love to have a huge bateria that day!

Cheers

Blog posting guidelines

Here are a few simple guidelines so that it remains easy to find information:

• Restrict postings to Samba School related topics;
• Don't make a new posting if you want to reply to or comment on an earlier post. Instead, use the quick&easy comment option. That way, we keep everything together and it will be easier to find information;
• Keep in mind this blog is available for the whole world to see. Try not to make too many typos, and it goes without saying to use polite language;
• Always check the result of your posting, and make sure you don't post twice
  
• I reserve the right to move or delete postings when necessary.
  

I'm still waiting for a lot of other sambistas to sign up to the blog as well, let me know if you've got any questions or need help.

Thanks for playing at the City Hall

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who played today at the City Hall gig. It's amazing that on a Tuesday afternoon, we manage to get so many people still playing. I know some of you have taken the day off so that you could play, I really really appreciate that! Your commitment is amazing!

I got some good feedback already. Jason, who has seen us play many times since we started, says every time we're just a bit better than the previous time. And Peter, who organised the gig, was really impressed as well. We already spoke about a repeat of this concert in the Gold Coast Art Centre (we've been there before!).

See you on Thursday!
Remko

PS: Just received this email: "Hi, I just saw you perform at today's Boy from Ipanema performance & thought you were fantastic! Could you send me info about upcoming percussion classes & performances. Thanks, Justin"

Up there for thinking...

Excellent idea, Remko. Good luck to everyone playing tomorrow!

Who's a clever bolgger then ?

Hi Remko, looks like a plan to me. I think I will bring my drum in on th bus.

A new way of sharing information

Hi all,

I'm going to use this Blog to share information with you about our Samba School, G.R.E.S. Unidos da Primavera. I'd like to use it to announce new gigs, and to give you details about where to go, what time, etc. etc.

I also like to use it to share ideas with you, and also to get some feedback from you. I have to find out how that will work though!

Wish me luck!

Cheers
Remko
