July 28th, 2012


Hello Hornists!
It's been a hot, busy summer for most of us.  We've had rehearsals inside, outside and at other various locations.  We've also played some old favorites and fun, new pieces, so if you haven't yet been to a summer reading session, now is the time!  (Or rather, August 11th will be the time).  Let the guilt trip begin!
For now, I am reporting on our latest rehearsal, which was this past Saturday at the McHenry Alliance Church.  Thanks to everyone who came out and played!  For those of you who missed, here's what happened:

  1. We read a bunch of fun music including:
    • La Gazza Ladra
    • Hard to Say I'm Sorry/ Get Away
    • Salvation is Created
    • La Danza
    • Wagner themes from "Gotterdamerung"
    • And....much more!

Looking forwards to the Fall Season, we are looking at a concert programed with "space" and Christmas themed pieces.  If you have suggestions for arrangements or purchases we should be making for this concert, please send your ideas to our fearless leader.

Special thanks to everyone who helped set up and tear down this week, and to the Alliance Church for hosting us!
Our next rehearsal will be on August 11th, from 9-11 am at MCC in the band room, as usual.  Please plan on arriving by 8:45 am; see you then!
