Rehearsal this Monday
In the fall, we responded to the Delta variant by reducing the number of players for indoor rehearsals. With the advent of the Omicron variant, we will do the same for the next two weeks. We’re doing so with Ron MacKenzie’s endorsement and approval of the Board.
We’ll continue to assess how this variant is spreading and how vaccination contains it before making any predictions for the next rehearsals in January. We will also continue week-to-week assessment in January and February. TMH continues to require vaccination for all players using the Hall, and at this writing, masks during rehearsal are optional but not required.
For now, please plan on:
- Monday, December 6, 7:30-9:45 pm at TMH – Brass and percussion sectional
- Monday, December 13, 7:30-9:45 pm at TMH – Woodwinds and percussion sectional
My rehearsal plan is posted on the home page.
Newspaper coverage
We received amazing coverage for the Fall Concert and Joe Greco’s award from the Rivertowns Enterprise. Ciick the photo or here for the article. Marge also has a hard copy of the clipping.
Joe called me the week after the concert to express his thanks once again, and asked me to pass that gratitude on to all of you.
Warm up scale for Beginning Band
Since we’re playing Randall Standridge’s Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I thought I’d share his priceless Bb warm up scale (and unique sense of humor) for all those heroes among us who teach Beginning Band. Click the image for a PDF version. Look closely, especially at the trombone part. Enjoy!
