Rehearsal on Monday

As noted on our schedule, we are rehearsing this Monday, in the APR, even though it’s Indigenous People’s Day. The rehearsal plan is posted here, and I also copied it into the #general_band_chat channel on Slack.

The rehearsal is in the APR again. Isn’t it wonderful not to drive all over Westchester County from week to week for rehearsals?

Membership dues

Please remember to bring your dues on Monday.  They are $125 cash, check or pay by Zelle to treasurer [at] westchestersymphonicwinds.org. We need to tie this up as announced by this coming Monday.

Ads are due next Monday, 10/19

Please give ad forms and payments to Tom Sweezey. Send ad copy to westsymwinds [at] gmail com. There is so much excitement about our first concert in Diller, and so we’re expecting the ad impact to be greater than usual. Keep in mind that all ads appear in all three concert programs for the season.

WSW Finance Presentation

Thanks again to Marge and David for their financial presentation last week. David posted a summary of the presentation on Slack, in the #general_band_chat channel. Please refer to it as needed.

Winter rep

As announced last week, it is likely that I will dedicate one rehearsal before the Fall concert (date yet to be announced) for reading/rehearsing a portion of the Winter concert. The Fall cycle is long, and the Winter cycle is short by comparison. Plus it’s winter, and we’re more likely to have rehearsals cancelled if Hackley closes (a new dimension we’ve never had to coordinate before!).

I don’t have all the parts ready yet, but the Shostakovich Finale is ready here. This will definitely be the prime target to address at such a Winter rehearsal before the Fall concert. I encourage you to consider downloading the Shostakovich sooner than later!
