Good morning, Music Lovers! Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. I took the day off and surrounded myself with Children and Grandchildren! Here is the scoop on this evening’s rehearsal. 5:00 – String Orientation Class and Percussion Sectional (Queen Couplet). 6:00 -8:00 rehearsals split Strings downstairs, Winds and Percussion upstairs. Both Sectionals working on the “Hands Across the Sea” music (Official name of the August 25th Show, pretty snappy isn’t it). Please create a new folder for your Show Music. After this Sunday’s Concert Performance, you will only need the “Show Charts” and exercise music at rehearsals. You will continue to receive Show Music at each rehearsal this month and into July! EVERY REHARSAL IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE!!!!!! adjust your calendar……..every minute is GOLDEN!
