Hello Hornists!

I am reporting on our latest rehearsal, which was earlier today at MCC.  Thanks to everyone who came out and played!  For those of you who missed, here's what happened:

1. We met our goal of starting at 9 am!  Keep up the great work and remember to plan on arriving by 8:45 am for warm-ups!
2. We rehearsed following pieces for our December concert:
1. Ave Maria (dynamics!)
2. Fandango (dynamics, articulations, counting, etc. you know what to work on!)
3. Cherry Wood Swing
4. Scarborough Fair Revisited
5. Hungarian Dance no. 5
6. Officer Krupke (It is important that the on-beats/off-beats keep time throughout)
3. Please be prepared to work on the large group pieces next week, including Candide, Fanfare & Toccata, the Madrigals, What Child is This? and Officer Krupke.
4. Fun fact: there are only 5 more rehearsals until our concert!

Special thanks to everyone who helped set up and tear down!  Our next rehearsal will be October 22nd at MCC.  Please plan on arriving by 8:45 am; see you then!
