Hello Hornists!

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

• We read some more pieces for the spring concert, and have edited the short list of possible pieces down to:
• Overture to The Magic Flute*
• Hogwarts Forever*
• Colonel Bogey March
• Sailor's Chorus*
• Rimsky-Korsakov Suite mvmts. I*
• O Rest in the Lord*
• Chicken Run
• Titanic
• Lord of the Rings Medley
• Wenger Ouverture

• Please do begin to look over your parts for these selections; be sure to check that you have a variety of parts with which you are happy (i.e. not all 1st parts, etc.).
• Check your email for the small ensemble preference list; be sure to respond with which small ensemble pieces you would be interested in playing.
• Please consider which pieces you may be interested in conducting.
• Do you have a mute?  Be sure to bring yours to all rehearsals so we can practice the logistics of using mutes (especially in the Wenger Ouverture).

Special thanks to everyone who helped set up and tear down this week!

Our next rehearsal will be March 10th at MCC.  Please plan on arriving by 8:45 am; see you then!
