Rehearsals on June 9 & 16
For many of you, these last weeks in June are crazy with final performances, projects, and meetings. I hope all goes well as you close out another school year.
Our next two rehearsals are scheduled at New Rochelle HS, followed by the two final rehearsals at TMH (at this point, all four are confirmed as such).
Please review the metronome markings for the Kander & Ebb medley, cited below and with the rehearsal plan on the home page. Please transfer these tempi into your parts.
Also please note that our WSW board is meeting in the NRHS Band Room (mostly likely at the table next to the piano) at 7:00 pm on Monday. Please give us space and time while you warm up and prepare for the rehearsal. Thank you.
The 2025-2026 season
As announced last week in rehearsal, our next season is filled with some very exciting focus works, including (but not limited to) The Pines of Rome (Fall), Trittico and Bamboo Shoots and City Streets (Winter), and — after a 6 year delay — Maslanka’s epic Symphony No. 4 (Spring).
Also announced last week: We have been invited to play for a Westchester County Tourism event on Saturday, September 27, probably at 12:00 pm, at Croton Point Park. We’ll have confirmation of that soon. If confirmed, we will simply repeat the Caramoor 2025 program without the vocal selections, and possibly with an easy tweak or two.

- Be aware that these concert dates are confirmed at TMH, but we may need to ask for some flexibility if our performance calendar is compromised.
- Please complete this form by Monday, June 30, so we can catch stragglers by our last meeting on July 4.
- Reminder: please contact me directly if you need to request taking a year leave-of-absence in 2025-2026.
