The Medalist band will be playing a couple of holiday concerts in the next few weeks.  One is tonight at the Bloomington Fine Arts Center, but it's $10.  It's a complete rip off considering we're playing a FREE concert on December 5th.  The holiday music just isn't worth $10 when you can hear oodles of free holiday music in a lot of places all December.  If we were playing more of a standard show featuring Grainger, Ticheli, or Stamp, then I'd say it'd be worth the $10.  The holiday stuff is fun, but it's not the most interesting from a musical standpoint, in my opinion.

If anyone on the Medalist's board of directors reads this post, they'll be pissed, because our $10 shows are how we raise a lot of money.  But why bother rehearsing and performing if nobody is going to show up? 

So, come to the free show on December 5th at Edinborough Park (yes, it's indoors).  I just looked at the Medalist's online schedule and they don't have a time for the show, but it'll probably be at 7:30.
