<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have two concerts coming up very soon, and I want to invite
musicians in Northeast Ohio to join the TrueNorth Symphony for almost
everyone’s favorite concerts of the year, the Patriotic Concerts.
We can use musicians in almost every section, but we especially need to grow
the string sections. This would be a great way for college and advanced
high school musicians to get some symphonic experience this summer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The first concert will be on June 20 at Lakeview Park in
Lorain at 7:30 pm. We will be on a stage on the beach, with what we expect
to be a very large audience on the grassy hill. The concert will be
narrated by Robert Conrad of WCLV.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The second concert will be on the 4<sup>th</sup> of July at
Miller Park in Avon Lake, beginning about 8:30 pm and extending into the
fireworks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At both concerts we will be performing the 1812 Overture,
but at Miller Park we will have synchronized fireworks! I also hope to do
the Copland “Fanfare for the Common Man” if we can get a great
brass team assembled.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Rehearsals are at 7:15 PM at the French Creek Nature Center,
4530 Colorado Ave (Rte. 611) in Sheffield Village. There will be
rehearsals on the following dates:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sunday, June 7<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Monday, June 8<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sunday, June 14<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Monday, June 15<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>After the June 20 concert, we
