From our Archives

Hello Hornists!
I am reporting on our last rehearsal (which was this morning).  Thanks to everyone who came and played!  For those of you who missed, here's what happened:
  1. We met at CLS in the band room! (Special thanks to the CLS Band director for hooking us up with his rehearsal space!)
  2. We read a bunch of fun music including some things we played last week, some new quartets from the Clarinet Institute people and Titanic Fantasy.
  3. We are in the process of uploading more archived performances to YouTube, so be sure to check back here or on our facebook page for fun videos!
If you know of or own any pieces that you think we should play, either bring them to our next rehearsal, post a comment below, or mail our fearless leader/copy monkey!

Are you a horn player in the McHenry County area looking for some fun?  Do you know any horn players who would enjoy playing with us?  Then invite them (or yourself!) to our next rehearsal!  Our summer rehearsals are spent sight reading, so there's no pressure to commit.  Come to as many or as few rehearsals as you want!

Our next rehearsal will be July 9th at CLS in the Band Room (park out front and enter through the Theater/Athletic Entrance).  Again, there's no AC, so dress for the weather.  See you then!

Here's one last reminder that we'll be meeting at CLS this Saturday for our rehearsal.  Be sure to bring:

1. Your horn!
2. Your folder.
3. Any music you might want to play at some point over the summer.
4. WATER
5. Dress for the weather (we will be in the band room, but there will probably be NO Air Conditioning).

See you then!
