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.
2. We read a bunch of fun music including...
1. O Magnum Mysterium
2. Cherry Wood Swing
3. Toccata and Fugue in D minor (We are thinking that this could be a great piece for next year; be thinking about which part you'd be interested in playing)
4. Fanfare and Toccata
5. La Danza (We're thinking about resurrecting this one and possibly Titanic!)
6. Ave Maria (Angelus Domini)
7. March from "The Love for Three Oranges"
3. Our next rehearsal (and all following ones) will be held in the McHenry County College band room.  Click here for a map.
4. Special thanks to everyone who helped to set up and tear down for our rehearsal!

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 August 13th at MCC in the band room. (Park in the lot by the stoplight on rt. 14, and enter at Building B.  The band room will be on the second floor).  See you then!
