Rehearsal Plan for May 18, 2025

Hi all,

We will have a shorter rehearsal this coming Sunday (5/18) for most of you: 4:00pm-5:30pm. The second half of rehearsal will be MYSfits only (5:45pm-7:00pm). Please consider staying to support your friends playing in the Community Concert happening upstairs in the church starting at 7:00pm.

Additionally, we will have a special guest spend time with us at the beginning of rehearsal: Ginette DePreist. Ms. DePreist was married to the legendary conductor James DePreist, who was the transformational Music Director of the Oregon Symphony from 1980 to 2003. That was only one of his many musical achievements on the world stage. Listen to Ms. DePreist talk about her life with Mr. DePreist here. Our theme this season is “barrier breakers,” and Mr. DePreist is a shining example.

Reminders:

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

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.

Thanks!

Dr. G.
