February 12th, 2011

Hello Hornists!
I am reporting on our latest rehearsal (which was earlier this morning).  Thanks to everyone who came and played!  For those of you who missed, here's what happened:
  1. We rehearsed several pieces for our Spring Concert.    Here is our new, tentative, program (* denotes pieces we are considering reducing to 8 players):
    • Academic Festival Overture: Brahms/Shafer (8 hns)
    • West Side Story Medley: Bernstein/Orbison (14 hns)
    • Bohemian Rhapsody: Mercury/Bissill (16 hns)
    • *Nimrod: Elgar/Mitchell (8 hns)
    • Horn Quartet: Tscherepnine (4 hns)
      • La Chasse
      • *Choeur Danse
    • *Nachtgesang im Walde: Schubert/Martinet (8 hns)
    • El Capitan: Sousa/Orbison (8 hns)
  2. Continue to think about which piece(s) you might like to conduct!
  3. For those of you who have not heard/seen West Side Story, here are some links to Youtube videos of the musical numbers (from the 1961 movie-version).  Check your local library/video store/Netflix for the full show!

Our next rehearsal will be February 26th, see you then!
