Sectionals for woodwinds/brass at Irvington Presbyterian; percussion at TMH
Woodwinds and Brass will meet at the Irvington Presbyterian Church, 21 North Broadway, Irvington. Woodwinds will meet in the annex building behind the church, brass will meet in the Parlor (the reception area in the main church, at the end of the building farthest from North Broadway). There is parking available in the church parking lot. Be sure to bring a music stand to Irvington! I’m grateful to Marc Tartell, Ben Acrish, and Andrew Hill, who will conduct the woodwind and brass sectionals. Please be prepared to rehearse the Beckel, Fukushima, and Cuong with them.
Here’s a photo of the exterior of the church, showing Broadway/Route 9 and the parking lot in relation to the building. Follow the red arrow along the south side of the building to enter the reception area/Parlor (brass) and to find the annex building (woodwinds).
Percussion will meet at the Music Hall, and I will conduct that sectional. We will be setting up in front of some musical theater set pieces, but our limited stage use is confirmed with Karina. (The White Plains HS reservation is cancelled and confirmed.) My plan is to leave the percussion sectional around 9:00, leave the remainder of the rehearsal in the hands of the percussionists, and make a run down Broadway to Irvington to hear the end of the the woodwind and brass sectionals there.

Rehearsals on April 3 & 10
Because of all the TMH conflicts throughout the spring, and the degree of uncertainty with some dates, I kept both April 3 & 10 on the rehearsal schedule. We intend to rehearse both nights. Some public schools are off April 3, some on April 10. If you expect to be away because of a spring break vacation, please log your absence in the WSW Absence Form as soon as possible.
