Gratitude for yesterday

Kudos

“It takes a village.” I can’t think of a better example of that old adage than yesterday’s concert. So many moving parts, so many solos, so many tricky entrances and meter changes, all compressed in one afternoon with one goal — sharing our love of music — and accomplished with only one full rehearsal inside the Music Hall. When you have a chance, I recommend checking out the archived video on our YouTube channel. And I’m very eager to hear the final audio recording when produced.

I wish I could have thanked you all individually yesterday as we left the stage. Instead, this note of gratitude will have to do. Thank you to each and every one of you for your contributions to such a successful concert. 

Upcoming schedule includes some challenges

There’s no rehearsal tonight. We meet as a full ensemble next Monday, November 22 at 7:30 pm in TMH to read through the Winter Concert program. At that point, I’ll announce how we are proceeding through the next three weeks (November 29, December 6 & 13) before our winter break. In the meantime, if you have an association with a school that might be a potential alternate rehearsal site (must have chairs, stands, and percussion), please contact me. There are five Mondays that TMH is not available in January/February. We have two Saturday mornings reserved in January at TMH, but I want to avoid them if at all possible!

Enjoy the week — thank you again!
