Last Monday’s rehearsal was very productive. I went into it hoping to establish meaning in each piece rehearsed, and I think that goal was met several times over.

This week we’ll continue to work on that goal with the other pieces in the cycle. Tim Takagi will be conducting again. We will read down the Armed Forces Salute, and this will likely be our only rehearsal of that piece until the dress rehearsal. Mary Ebeling dubbed the Holst/Williams mashup as “Mars Wars” in a Facebook post, and I like that name! That’s on the plan as well. Just follow the link at the top of this paragraph to see the full rehearsal plan.

The deadline to submit ads must be next Monday, October 19. Please consider bringing in an ad from work, or bonding with your section-mates and taking an ad, or approaching a colleague or neighbor to ask for their support. Again, if everyone brought in one ad, well you know the rest. Once again, here’s the link to the ad form.

What a beautiful weekend! I hope you all enjoyed it. See you tomorrow night.
