Final rehearsal Monday at New Rochelle (for 2024-2025)
We are rehearsing at New Rochelle again on Monday. Please note that we are rehearsing the Revelli edition of The Free Lance, so be sure to download/bring the parts for this edition, which is now posted. (See below.)
This should be the last rehearsal at NRHS this season. I appreciate and thank all the members who have made the trek so far south so many times. It’s an attractive site, with great percussion equipment, excellent acoustics, our hosts are very WSW-friendly, and the price is the least expensive of our current alternate sites. It’s difficult to say no to rehearsing at New Rochelle when the circumstances do not allow us to use TMH.
Rehearsals on June 23 & 30 are confirmed at TMH. Please note that we can’t enter to set up on June 23 at TMH until 7:00 pm.
The Free Lance / Revelli edition is posted
A huge thank you goes out to Andrew Dolgon, who used his connections at University of Illinois to obtain the Revelli edition of The Free Lance for us. Upon arrival, Andrew also reformatted the scans so they could be read one page at a time, and he wrote out the tuba and euphonium parts, which were missing from the set. So we are really indebted to Andrew!
Rehearsal plan
The rehearsal plan for Monday is posted. Remember that there are only 3 rehearsals remaining before Caramoor (including this coming Monday); please keep absences to the barest minimum.

September 27 performance at Croton Point Park is confirmed!
We have been confirmed as the opening/headliner act for Revolutionary Westchester 250, a program celebrating the months leading up to the semiquincentennial. This event is sponsored by Westchester County Tourism, and will be a major fund-raising event for the ensemble.
The only update to the event details as I described them previously is that we will be performing at 11:00 am (not 12:00 or 1:00 pm). It is likely that the call time will be about 9:30 am, and we will be clear to leave by 12:00 pm or so. The program will be the Caramoor 2025 program without the vocal numbers, about 45 minutes with no intermission. There is a possibility that some version of Yankee Doodle will be added (this is a specific request from the sponsor because of the Revolutionary War connection). The one-and-only rehearsal for this performance will be Wednesday, September 24 (there is no Monday rehearsal that week because of Rosh Hashana). This will be the only rehearsal dedicated to reviewing this program, as all other fall rehearsals will focus on the program for the November 9 Fall Concert.
