I’ve updated the rehearsal plan for Monday’s rehearsal. Please remember that we start at 8:00 pm, following the children’s theater event. I recommend arriving at 7:40 pm. Please help us set up the stage quickly. Remember that the TMH staff is there to help us; if there’s an issue, to speak to a Board member.

The parts for the Carmen Fantasia rental, including the solo parts, only arrived yesterday. The piece is 26 minutes long, and I need to cut 2 or 3 of the movements to make it manageably in the 15 minute range as I had planned. If I can confer with Bill & Chris in time, we’ll hand out and read the appropriate sections on Monday. If not, I’ll extend the Tschaikovsky section of the rehearsal and start some “meat and potatoes” rehearsal of that piece right away. As I wrote earlier this week, the Tschaikovsky Finale parts are ready for download. Please go to this link, find your part by instrument family, download/print your part, and be sure to begin to practice this part before Monday.

Please also note that I’ve updated the Resources & Forms page on this site. Included/updated now are the current brochure, current ad form, and current spreadsheet for repertoire for the season, including the recently updated instrumentation for the Winter Concert. If you’re a section leader, check out the Winter Instrumentation tab of that spreadsheet to see the part distribution.

See you Monday!
