They just can't get enough of a good thing!!!
 
The organizers of the Nova Scotia International Tattoo, held annually in

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, have invited the Woods Manufacturing
Company (Ottawa) Limited Brass Band (Woods Brass) back for
a second consecutive appearance, and our third appearance overall.
 
We need players!  Every instrument, and percussion. The more the better.
We had 58 last year for most performances thanks to the support from the
international brass band community. (UK, USA, Canada.) An absolutely
astounding sound -- other musicians said we were the loudest, and the
best. It would be great fun to have participants from Norway, Holland,
Belgium, Germany, Oz, ... everyone! 

If you are interested, contact the band manager, Janice Larose, at
larosej@xxxxxxxxxxx
or me at hal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or both!
 
Details:
 
Total duration: 14 days, from Thursday June 24 through Wednesday July 7
  Rehearse: Jun 24 - June 30
  Perform:  July 1 - July 7
 
  Accommodation: Free for participants. University residence grade,
i.e., comfortable,
			 though spartan, furnishings. Each unit has a
kitchen and utensils can
			 be borrowed free. Laundry available. Health and
fitness centre nearby for
			 small additional cost. Great jogging paths -
city and park.
 
			 Family members can be accomodated for a small
additional cost, around
			 $25.00 Canadian each, I think. (To be
confirmed)
 
  Expenses:	Meal tickets provided, for use in selected
restaurants (several really good 
			 ones, including great vegetarian and Indian
venues. Last year we were able to
			 use  the tickets in the local supermarket, a
boon to those who like to make
			 home-cooked meals or buy take-out meals cheaper
than the restaurants.
 
			 Travel arrangements to be announced when they
are confirmed.
			 I expect travel will be provided free from
Ottawa to Halifax, other arrangements
			 at personal option. Everything else is personal
expense.
 
  Free time:	Performances are in the evenings, so you have all
day available for 
			 sight-seeing. Most attractions are anything
from 20 minutes drive (Peggy's
			 Cove lighthouse) to one or two hours. Consider
taking another few days and 
			 "do the maritimes".
