WPHS site inspection

Aside

Bill Tonissen invited me over to see the WPHS music department this afternoon. I want to pass on these observations:

There’s plenty of parking, but the spaces have not been cleared too deeply, so the parking spaces are shallow.
The hand-drawn map created by Master Hostetter is perfect. You’ll have no trouble finding your way.
Chairs are the old metal folding-style, the ones with “Music Dept” stamped into the back. If you brought a cushion to use with the old blue chairs, I suggest bringing it tonight.
Percussion equipment inventory covers our large instrument needs, but everything is in a storage room across the hall from the rehearsal room, and must be brought over to start/taken back afterwards.
The room is pretty loud. Fair warning.

See you later.

Rehearsal plan corrected

Aside

I just realized that I copied my rehearsal plan incorrectly. Markowski is next week. Rehearsal for tomorrow night (January 25) is:

7:30 – Holst II-III
8:00 – Mackey
8:45 – Stretch/Announcements
8:55 – Daughtrey
9:25 – Latham I-II-III-IV

The rehearsal page has been corrected. Apologies!

Rehearsal at White Plains HS confirmed

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Curt Ebersole

I hope you’re safe and warm today amidst the falling snow. Maybe I should change the concert finale to a more appropriate composition?

We are definitely rehearsing in White Plains on Monday. See below, or go to Rehearsal this Week for the rehearsal plan and directions to White Plains High School. We are rehearsing in the Orchestra Room, because they closed the auditorium to replace the stage curtains this week.

I added a tab named “Winter Rehearsals” to the 2015-2016 Repertoire spreadsheet, to show my rehearsal plans for the remaining rehearsals of the cycle. Check it out — you may find it useful. February 28 is not that far away! This sheet is always shared through the Resources page.

Be careful in the storm. We can’t afford to lose anyone to an unfortunate accident! See you Monday in White Plains.

Directions to White Plains High School, 550 North Street, White Plains:
See map below. Use 550 North Street as GPS address. Cross street is Bryant Avenue, which has an exit directly off I-287. Although the address is North Street, it is easier to use the parking lot from the Bryant Avenue entrance because of one-way lanes on campus.
Enter off Bryant, then take the first right into the large parking lot. You’ll see the auditorium at the southeast corner of the parking lot. Walk toward the auditorium, and look for signs to guide you inside to the Orchestra Room. See below also for the excellent map Rachel’s son drew for us.
