I’m going to take advantage of the fact that the full percussion section is available on Monday, January 2, and have a percussion sectional that evening instead of a full rehearsal. The timing is right, and we’ll tweak a number of issues effectively and efficiently. I wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible, so you can make alternate plans if you wish. Or you could stay home and practice!

That means the next full rehearsal is Monday, January 9 — which is also the next White Plains High School rehearsal date. I’ll remind everyone again in January, but thought I’d just put it out there now.

That’s it for now. Thank you for a tremendous fall season. I wish you all the very best for the holidays, and a happy and very healthy New Year!
