Rockland County (NY) is celebrating TubaChristmas
next Sunday, December 18th, at 3:00 p.m.


We started a new tradition last year, by performing for the Helen Hayes (rehabilitation) Hospital. Helen Hayes Hospital is recognized throughout the entire tri-state area, as a premier rehabilitation hospital, and it is a very positive place to perform. They have an extensive concert series there, and a lot of people from outside the hospital come to the performances, so the audience ends up being a mixture of patients & the general public. Last year, the audience was great, and I was told that it was the most successful event that they have ever had there!

Here is the official info from the TC website:

I have spoken to them about supplying snacks in between the rehearsal and the performance (as we had done at Bear Mountain, in the past). I just hope that it does not turn out to be "hospital Jell-O"! :D

Please come join us. Sharing your music with the folks at the hospital, would be a great way to get into the holiday spirit!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Don will be able to join us this year, but I have high hopes that he will be back next year.
