Man, I have not been keeping up! Sorry about that reader(s).
On Saturday, December 12, we played the annual Santa Breakfast at MacRae Park. (The weeks leading up to this, we practiced our Christmas repertoire in anticipation.) As usual, the kids were a hoot, as they danced to the music. Santa apparently had things well in hand up north, as he was there the entire time from 10 to noon. There was breakfast, face painting, and a chance to chat with the Big Guy--and, of course, all to the vocals of Annie and Dick, backed up by the rest of the Workshop: Sam (trumpet) Gene (drums), Tony (bass), Ray (violin), Serdar (guitar), Jack D (trumpet), Carl (trombone), Wes (tenor), Steve M (alto) and yours truly (alto).
I kind of lost track in the middle, so let me see if I can remember everything. We did Sleigh Ride, The Christmas Song, Silver Bells, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, The Christmas Waltz, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Blue Christmas, White Christmas, Here Comes Santa Claus, Feliz Navidad and Merry Christmas Baby. There may have been one or two others. Anyhow, we had fun, as usual, and they fed us well, as usual.
