I enjoyed watching the video very much.
I hope you are allowed to do more very soon.

We are quickly running out of good weather to rehearse at the pavilion we have had access to for the past few months, but we will be moving indoors in even smaller groups soon. We are currently in the process of putting together another recorded concert like this, though I don't know what the planned release date is. I'll be sure to post it when I have more information.

I have only heard of plans for one more recorded concert, but I imagine that we will do more after the new year. The board for the Northshore Concert Band has done a fabulous job in balancing all of the changing factors and finding new venues to rehearse at, all the while being respectful of people's personal safety preferences and finding reasonable ways to accommodate them. They have worked really hard to find ways to keep making music, and it's been an honor to work with them.

Thank for listening, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
