Band versus weather, 2023: 1-2
Two weeks into the summer performance season, and we're at 1-2. (technically, 1-3, but I'll go into that later)
Tuesday's LCCB gig was cancelled late (5pm-ish) because the rain was being very spotty and inconsistent. It was also chilly (69 at 5pm, cloudy, and going to get cooler as the night went on), and Prez decided that there wouldn't be enough audience to make it worth playing. There is no rain date for this gig -- it's the second one in Brighton on the summer, and the LCCB is booked through August.
Thursday's FCB gig was cancelled well before noon, as there were storms predicted for the evening, and after the storms it was going to be chilly (predictions were saying ~65 at the end of the concert), so the decision was made to postpone/cancel. That one may be rescheduled, it may not -- we shall see.
The other cancelled gig was an LCCB performance at the SLyon Kite festival, which was cancelled because the kite festival unilaterally changed the performance time from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning. Prez says "erm, no. Many of my people play/sing at church, and they will skip a 10am performance."
The one gig I have played so far is a LCCB gig in Brighton. The weather was gorgeous, the setting a bit dusty (they're rebuilding Main Street in Brighton, and the bandshell is on that side of the park, and with the little rain we'd gotten the previous month...). The concert went well, and despite the construction there was a decent audience. Next week, the LCCB is in Fowlerville.
I may have the Camry back by then! I talked to the service advisor a couple of days ago and she said it was 'in reassembly. should be ready on Monday'. We shall see.....
