Individual playing

Hi All,
  At Tuesday’s rehearsal I announced that I would like to hear people in the larger sections play so that I can better assign and balance parts.  This is only so that I can know your playing.   I only need to hear 16 measures of your choosing that shows me what you can do.

  Next Tuesday we will rehearse as a full ensemble for the first half and then I will listen to people privately.  This will include Flutes, Clarinets, Alto Sax’s, and Trumpets.

  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  My #1 goal is that everybody has a positive experience playing with the Plainville Wind Ensemble.

Another Great Concert

Hi All,
  Congratulations and Thank you for another great concert.  It was a fitting tribute to the simpler side of America and the legacy of a true leader.
  Enjoy this week off.  I am excited to share new music with you at our next rehearsal on 11/24.  Please remember to turn in your music at that rehearsal as well.

Ken
