Congratulations!
I saw a post on Facebook earlier today with a treble staff and a middle C & F – proclaiming, “A Perfect Fourth!” Well, that’s how I feel about our concert last night. Congratulations on really bringing it on full force for the audience at Caramoor! The clearly enthusiastic audience response to singing On the Mall, Chris’s tuba-gymnastics, Ryan’s amazing voice, Rachel’s nailed-it-to-the-wall Stars & Stripes solo, the joy of the 1812 finale, and the integrity of every other composition was palpable. It was a great finish to an amazing season. I am so very, very proud of your work, and continue to be so proud to be associated with this ensemble.
Music Return
There were a couple players looking for Nancy afterwards to return folders. If you did not put your folder in the green bags, contact Nancy directly (email me if you need her number). We need to get the folders torn down asap, so we can start to prepare for the fall.
The 28th Season
As we look ahead at next season, please start to prepare by adding the concert dates and dress rehearsals (below) to your calendars. We will ask for your commitments to return by mid-summer, and send the weekly rehearsal schedule as soon as TMH confirms it. In regard to the beginning of the season, in order to avoid starting the season so late, I am going to schedule two Tuesdays (September 8 & 15) to work around the late Labor Day and mid-month Rosh Hashanah holiday.
