I am reporting on our latest rehearsal (earlier this morning). Thanks to everyone who came out and played, especially our fabulous pianist and set player! Here are some rehearsal notes:
- We rehearsed the following pieces:
- La Chasse: Be sure to watch our conductor; play lightly.
- Academic Festival: Keep up the forward momentum, and be sure to play any tricky rhythms exactly.
- Nimrod: We will be playing this no faster than a quarter note = 60. Work on breathing (we shouldn't all breath together!).
- Bohemian Rhapsody: Be sure to really exaggerate all dynamics and check any tricky rhythmic parts.
- Nachtgesang: Cuts were made. If you do not have the cuts yet, please email one of the other members to find out!
- Choeur Danse: Nice and dance-like!
- West Side Story Medley: Whew! We ran the whole thing without stopping! As always, look over any trick parts during the week.
- El Capitan: Keep the tempo moving forward. Also, please play dynamics!
- Next week will be our final rehearsal. We will meet at MCC in the band room at 9, and the plan is to run through the concert.
- If you haven't signed up to bring something for the reception, be sure to check your email for the list!
- Our concert is on April 16th. Call time will be at 5 pm in the Auditorium at MCC; please be on time, so that we can quickly touch on all the pieces and leave the stage before our adoring fans arrive.
- Concert dress will be all black.
