Hello Hornists!

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

• We rehearsed the concert order:
• Rimsky-Korsakov Quartet
• Sailor's Chorus
• Rest in the Lord
• Chicken Run (be specific about articulations, spot check any tricky sections)
• Ouverture (spot check any tricky sections)
• Magic Flute (It's really starting to come together, but be sure to check any personally difficult sections)
• Titanic Fantasy (Spot check any tricky sections)
• Hogwarts Forever (Spot check any tricky sections)
• Colonel Bogey March (Practice Suggestion: use a metronome, we discovered the group has a tendency to drag).
• Lord of the Rings Medley (Dynamics!  Key signatures!)
• Fairest of the Fair

• We will have a short dress rehearsal on April 28th before our concert.  Please plan on arriving at 5:00pm so we can start rehearsal promptly at 5:30 pm.   (As always, the concert starts at 7 pm).
• Concert dress will be your favorite formal black!
• We have concert posters!  Check your email for a digital copy which you may print and post anywhere/everywhere to advertise our Spring Concert.

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

We will not meet  for rehearsals in May, so our next rehearsal will be on June 9th at MCC.  Please plan on arriving by 8:45 am; see you then!
