We are performing this shared concert with the bands at White Plains HS in place of our regular rehearsal. Please review all this important information before Monday:
- Attire is the same as all WSW performances. There’s no deviation from our regular attire.
- Please bring a folding music stand just in case you find that you need one for the massed finale.
- Use Room D108 as our coats/cases/warmup room, then assemble in last 7 rows of audience right in the Auditorium. Concert begins with the two WPHS bands at 7:00 pm, with WSW on stage as the third ensemble, then finishing with the massed band finale.
- I found this list of errata for the Ticheli. Better late than never! Please mark the corrections in your parts.
- Review my rehearsal notes for the Ticheli from last Monday’s rehearsal, and mark your parts accordingly. These are quite important!
- Review the details for attire, arrival, repertoire, etc. in the Side by Side bulletin, which I distributed in last week’s post.
- Take a look at the combined seating charts for Woodwinds (on the pit floor) and Brass (on stage). I suggest that you find your name and write down which row you are in and how many seats from the edge. That will help us all to find our places as quickly as possible when we assemble. Remember that we are winging this — there is no combined rehearsal!
- Our WSW performance order is Glinka, Horne, Ticheli, Karrick.
- After we assemble the massed bands, the performance order is Hall, Aldridge.
