I am reporting on our latest session in MCC's auditorium. Thanks to everyone who came out and played (I think we had near perfect attendance!). Here are some rehearsal notes:
- We rehearsed our approximate concert order:
- La Chasse: We set up in the audience as 5 groups of 4. Be sure to position yourself so you can see our conductor!
- Academic Festival Overture: This will be the first piece on the stage. Really pay attention to dynamics, and continue to move the piece along!
- Nimrod: Small group 1.
- Bohemian Rhapsody: Excellent work! This is really starting to groove!
- Nachtgesang: Small group 2 (there may be some musical cuts to shorten this up).
- Choeur Danse: Small group 3
- West Side Story Medley: Again, there has been some great work done here, but be sure to continue working on your part so that we are ready (there may be an executive decision to cut the Krupke section).
- El Capitan: Be sure to exaggerate dynamics for musical effect.
- This was our one rehearsal on the stage; be sure to remember where you sat for each piece (or even write it down!) to ensure smooth transitions.
- Check for which pieces (if any) you need a mute.
- Special thanks to everyone who helped set up/tear down for our rehearsal!
