Hello Hornists!

I am reporting on our latest rehearsal, which was this past Saturday at MCC.  Thanks to everyone who came out and played (we had 17-ish hornists)!  For those of you who missed, here's what happened:

• We read several pieces in consideration for the Spring Concert:
• Overture to the Magic Flute
• Ouverture (Wenger)
• Colonel Bogey March
• O Rest in the Lord, from "Elijah"
• Titanic Fantasy
• Hogwarts Forever
• March from "For the Love of Three Oranges"
• Sleep
• We discussed the April concert date and found that the Saturday we have, April 7th, might not be the best date (due to Easter).  So, we are trying to get April 28th.  Please check back for more details.
• We currently have arrangements of Chicken Run, Independence Day, Braveheart and the Telemann horn suite on order.   If you have, or know of any music we should consider for our coming Spring Concert, please suggest/ bring it to our next rehearsal!

• As with our latest concert, we will be needing conductors for many of the pieces to be programed.  Be ready to volunteer!
• Special thanks to all returning college alums!  It was great to see you! 
• More special thanks to everyone who helped to set up/ tear down!

Our next rehearsal will be from 9-11 am January 28th, at MCC.  Please plan on arriving by 8:45 am; see you then!
