Hi all,
Thanks for a productive rehearsal on Sunday, February 9th. It was especially useful to read through the Cartoon Music. We took notes and will hand out updated parts as soon as they’re available.
It was also delightful to read Yoda’s Theme, which has been added to our program to complete the full Star Wars Suite.
Thank you to our brass coaches for working on Star Wars with our sections. This coming Sunday we’ll have an all-star line-up of woodwind coaches.
Please see below for our rehearsal plan for Sunday, Feb. 16.
