Song and Dance with the BFD Band

On Sunday, 24-May-2015 the Bridgewater Fire Department Band begins its 2015 season with a 3pm concert at the new Bridgewater Baptist Church on Glen Alan Drive.

The program will feature a performance of “A Song for Japan,” by Dutch bass trombonist Steven Verhelst. It was inspired by the suffering caused by the 2011 earthquake that devastated parts of Japan.

The band will also play music from “Riverdance.” Kerri Dorey first came to know the piece while serving as a sergeant in Edmonton’s famed Royal Canadian Artillery Band. When she and her husband, Sgt. Yves Gauthier, also an RCA Band member, retired from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2009 and returned to Kerri’s home province, they soon joined the BFD Band and introduced them to the music from Riverdance. Kerri is featured as soprano saxophone soloist in three of the five movements of the suite. Also featured are Jana Hirtle, French horn and percussionist David Eisener.

Other music on the programe includes Finzi’s Lyric Suite, plus music by Beethoven, Julius Fucik and John Williams.

Though the storm weakened enough over it’s course to dissipate over the weekend around the Carolinas – its remnants  brought some light rain to the Canadian East Cost on Tuesday, 12-May-2015.

Hurricane naming for the 2015 season

[National Hurricane Center] Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms had been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. They are now maintained and updated through a strict procedure by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization.

The list below is used in rotation and re-cycled every six years, i.e., the 2014 list will be used again in 2020. The only time that there is a change in the list is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity. If that occurs, then at an annual meeting by the WMO committee (called primarily to discuss many other issues) the offending name is stricken from the list and another name is selected to replace it. Several names have been retired since the lists were created. Here is more information the history of naming tropical cyclones and retired names.
