Almost Back To Normal

There’s nothing quite as refreshing as having main power almost within reach after operating on auxiliary power for several days and to that end, I’m still occupied with getting everything shipshape so there’s only a quick pointer to an article in the 6/29/2014 edition of the Green Bay Press Gazette by Paul Srubas that reports the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra’s (GBSO) board and executive leadership have made it quite clear that they are resolved to shut the organization down after next season.

Back in May, GBSO musicians and patrons began pushing back against the decision to close up shop but it appears that those efforts have failed to produce any fruit.

Nonetheless, there’s nothing stopping musicians and supporters from forming a new orchestra and if they are serious about believing in local potential, then the time to begin laying that groundwork is now.

The bit to keep your eye on is what will happen with the current organization’s assets; everything from stands and chairs through the music library and right down to the digital depths of the donor and ticket buyer database.
