Rehearsal 12/15

HI All,
  Tomorrow is our last rehearsal before the break.  We will run through as much music as we can again.  Mario is in so we will read through that as well.
  I have music for you if you did not get it last week.

See you Tuesday night.

Rehearsal 12/8

Hi All,
  I have music for everybody for Tuesday.  I am still waiting for "Mario" to arrive from Japan. If it arrives before Tuesday I will try to include it in your music.  Still haven't heard from "Zelda", but I am not giving up hope.

Tuesday's rehearsal will focus on the first half of the concert:

20th Century Fox
Star Wars Epic
Star Trek
Dr. Who
James Bond


Next week we will focus on the 2nd half: Comic Book Super Heroes and Video Games.

See you Tuesday

Ken

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.
