The second problem is that the audio recordings from Chicago have not arrived yet. As soon as they arrive, I will distribute / mail the requested copies of these to those who placed orders.

Badin Music Notes

December 19, 2008Keeping Badin's Music Families In Tune! Merry Christmas!!! I apologize for the lack of updates lately. The turnout for both of the Christmas concerts was wonderful! Everyone seemed to have a great time, and the groups performed well. Thanks everyone for making these events go so well! Luke 2: 8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." 15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." 16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Thanks, Everyone Special thanks for all of the gifts and cards. Janie and I appreciate all of you very much! Oh, and I am feeling fine now!   Upcoming Calendar Monday, January 5: MSCB 3:30 - 5:30 Tuesday, January 6: 5th Grade Band 3:30 - 5:00 Wednesday, January 7: Possible Cinderella Vocal Rehearsal 3:00 - 4:00; Pep Band 6:45 - ?
