All rehearsals are mandatory. If you can’t attend, please contact Cindy Berry at cberry1314@gmail.com.
We can’t achieve the necessary ensemble balance and fluency without all members so please make this a priority.
On the day of our concerts, we will meet to rehearse at 12:30 pm in Bailey Hall, warm-up and have a short rehearsal. The Concerts will start promptly at 2:00pm.
Concert dress is all black. Tuxedos aren’t necessary but black shirts, black slacks, black socks and shoes are appropriate for the men. The women should wear a black top and black slacks, or a long black dress or skirt with black shoes.
Please remember that after each rehearsal and concert everyone needs to stack their chair and stand in the appropriate racks backstage. All percussion should be stored in an organized fashion backstage as well.
* For all newbies and returning members: Enter from the south side parking lot where the walkway leads to the lobby of Bailey Hall - enter through the glass doors to the left of Bailey Hall Lobby - continue on through two sets of solid doors - after the second set of solid doors, look for double doors to your left which leads to a stairwell. Go up three levels to the first door on the left - you have arrived!
We will rehearse Monday although it is a Jewish holiday. If you cannot attend, that is completely fine.
We will concentrate on An American in Paris, Country Gardens, Espana Cani, Italian in Algiers, Ngoma za Kenya, and Purple Carnival.
A few additional notes:
· Cathi Leibinger from the French horn section shared an errata list for Variations on a Korean Folk Song. Please review it and update your music.
· Derek McLean from the trombone section found an excellent Austin Symphonic Band recording of An American in Paris.
· The rehearsal audio page has been updated with these notes.
I look forward to seeing you Monday. Have a great weekend!
