Hi Steve,
I’m interested in becoming a part of the Salisbury Swing Band.
Still rehearsing on Tuesdays at Catawba from 7 until 9 PM?
My only conflicts would be school stuff and private lessons on Wednesdays and Thursday evenings.
If I join you guys I’m going to move my monthly booster meetings at Knox to Tuesday afternoons.
