Hi all,
Well, we’re pretty much a month away from our concert. This term (January-February) always flies by. Also, we lost a rehearsal due to ice/snow. So, we have some work to do!!
Please make sure to practice EVERYTHING as soon as possible, but, as always, you may focus most of your attention from Sunday to Tuesday on what we *just* rehearsed, and from Wednesday to Saturday on what we are *about to* rehearse. Below is the plan for this coming Sunday (Feb 4).
Rehearsal Plan for Sunday, February 4 (including sectionals!)
- 4:00pm-5:30pm – Percussionists with Kevin (please spend some time on Ives and Martin parts)
- 4:00pm-5:30pm – Tutti minus percussion:
- 4:00pm-4:45pm – Pando: [G] to m. 213 (tour repertoire, with touring guests)
- 4:45pm-5:30pm – “Tin Soldier:” beginning to m. 140.
5:30pm-5:45pm – Break
- 5:45pm-7:00pm – Sectionals
- Woodwinds: Beethoven (flutes: make sure to ask Zach about special effect in Pando).
- Strings, brass and timpani (Hank) – Beethoven movs. 4 & 5
Thank you, happy practicing and see you on Sunday Feb 4.
Best,
Dr. G.
