Rehearsal Plan for May 4, 2025

Hi everyone,

We’re going into our third and final weekend of sectional rehearsals. Woodwind sections will work with coaches during the second half of rehearsal this Sunday.

Also, we will read and work on the encore that Mr. Balogh will conduct: the Intermezzo from Háry János Suite by Zoltán Kodály.

Earlier this week, I sent out part assignments to alumni for each of the pieces on the first half of our June 17 concert. Please double-check these new PDFs to confirm your own part assignment. They’re linked below.

Again, remember to listen to our reference video/audio regularly. It’s all on the sidebar of this blog and this YouTube playlist.

Finally, unless you’re a graduating senior, it’s time to re-register for next season to avoid having to re-audition. No exceptions will be made. Your deadline is June 17th. Anybody who registers after June 17th will have to re-audition.

Best,

Dr. G.
