Hello Hornists!
I am reporting on our latest rehearsal (earlier this morning).  Thanks to everyone who came out and played, especially our fabulous pianist and bassist!  Here are some rehearsal notes:
  1. We read a fun double-choir renaissance-y Latin piece.
  2. We rehearsed the following pieces:   
    • Bohemian Rhapsody:  Be sure to really exaggerate all dynamics and check any tricky rhythmic parts.
    • West Side Story Medley: Everyone received new parts (Krupke has been edited out: maybe we will play this as a separate number on a later concert?).  Be sure to count your parts exactly, or find someone to help you!  Also, play dynamics.  And any other pesky markings on the page.
    • El Capitan: Be aware that the group has a tendency to slow down (metronome practice anyone?).
  3. Next week we will meet in the band room at MCC.  The following week (April 2nd) we will meet at CLS.  Please check your emails for details.
  4. Special thanks to everyone who helped set up/tear down for our rehearsal!
Our next rehearsal will be on this Saturday, March 26th (in the band room) see you then!
