We’re back at it on Monday, hopefully with just about everyone this week. Rehearsal will focus on gaining ground with the big pieces. Take a look at the Rehearsal Plan.

We have a baby-sitting challenge this week. One player, who lives close by in Sleepy Hollow, needs a baby-sitter for his 6- and almost-4-year old in order to attend rehearsal. Does anyone have a daughter or family member who might be interested? Please email me for details.

I have two polls this week. The first — for everyone — asks you to confirm the concerts (May, June, July) to which you have committed. The second — for members going to Chicago — concerns the proposed Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert on June 13. Scroll down the page to get to both polls. Please complete these by Monday before rehearsal. Thank you for taking the 3 minutes needed to do this. (Note that it’s easiest to complete these polls from a desktop, laptop, or tablet; you may experience problems doing this from a phone.)

Stay warm. See you Monday.

Poll #1 – ALL MEMBERS please confirm spring/summer performances

Poll #2 – For Chicago trip performers only
