THE BAND WEEKLY (Christmas Edition)
Welcome… to another edition of the Band weekly. This is a special edition as it is our special Christmas edition. This edition is full information that will not help you in any way, shape or form.
Well another carolling season has come, and by the time you get this it has probably already passed. The band weekly would like to thank all who participated and for those that dodged us, we will hunt you down and do bad things to you!!!
Who Is this Man?
-We would like to draw your attention to your corps Christmas message books. Please check through them carefully and see if there is anyone in there that you don’t know or have never heard of. It has come to our attention that a man called Ernest Rhombo is in there. Who is this man? We ask the readers of the band weekly to use all your resources and brainpower (or you could ask someone who might know) to find this man.
- Also we would like to draw some attention to ‘that guy’ that sat in the band at a Roselea Public school. The ‘Guy’ was the victim of a savage fruit tingle attack.
Thankyou!
The band would like to say thankyou to 1st tenor horn Huntley Evans for a fun night carolling on Monday night. During a dull service Huntley began to pass around fruit tingles. Tim insisted that he be passed some fruit tingles. It is at this point that Huntley, with all his athletic prowess managed to hit the bald guy sitting in front of Tim in the head with the fruit tingles. The funniest thing was the hollow sound that it gave off when it slapped against the old, bald guys head. Well done trooper.
Another thankyou goes out to Seano for his support at the Roselea Public School carolling event. Thanks Sean for your show of support by falling asleep. We thought you might just be resting your eyes but sagging to one side sort of gave it away.
Beaver would like to thank the band for their prayer support on his recent mission tour to the school canteen. Beaver would like to inform the band that the tour has been postponed for now but will be back on in the New Year, when the canteen reopens. Love your work beaver
A big thankyou goes out to the anonymous person that returned the water that was previously missing from the Parramatta River. Thankyou very much… and in future, steal someone else’s water.
Our thoughts and prayers go with Matthew and Adam Wright as they go to England on a nationally sponsored tour of England to tease the people and inform them how bad their cricket team really is. Rumour has it that Matthew will be bringing the ashes home. Don’t worry about the security matt, there English, they can’t run!!!
Band News
The flowers on Sunday 22nd December will be in memory of Scott Lingard. He was once a loyal Bandmaster that turned his back on the band, joined a Village people cover band and died in a plane crash on the way to their first concert. Bad luck Scott. This is no relation to the Scott that just left as our last bandmaster.
We would like to commend solo cornet Mark Roberts on his exceptional spading effort at carols in the domain. Mark did not leave Nicola’s side for the whole afternoon/ night. A reminder for all bandsmen, if he says that they are “just friends” then hit him as hard as you can repeatedly.
News Just to Hand
Andrew Henkel could not make it to the morning meeting today (December 22nd) as he had a bad rash. The rash came as a result of many mission trips to the school canteen. A little tip beaver, use some talcum powder.
Band Bible Study
It has been bought to my attention, by one very keen 2nd cornet that he would like to start a band bible study. The person that will remain nameless said that he could use one of his dad’s sermons from the Sunday before.
Another bandsmen tried to start a bible study when they were at the corps not to long ago. They ran into a problem when a time was suggested for the gathering. It was a unanimous decision to start at 6:30 but this was way past the young men’s bedtime. Thanks anyway Nathaniel and Chris.
