NMA general membership meeting -- San Antonio

The 2010 NMA reunion will begin Wednesday, June 23. Bob Leketa, who works all year to arrange our reunions, stressed that making early reservations directly affects his ability to negotiate the needs and the nice-to-have amenities we enjoy at reunions. The more guarantees a hotel has that X number of rooms will be filled, the better they are willing and able to cater to us.

Full details on making reservations will appear in the Leger Lines, and will also be posted soon at the Navy Musicians Association website.

NMA President Terry Chesson said he's played in San Antonio a few times while in the U.S. Navy Showband.  "While I'm looking forward to another visit," he said, "I'm not sure how much I want to be back on the bandstand after three days of green chili."

At least he won't be on a float playing Chicago tunes with the USMC Silent Drill Team up ahead and protesting our music. Or having the same float break down and forcing us out of the parade.
