Rehearsal October 17

The rehearsal plan for October 17  has been updated. Please check it before rehearsal.

Our Fall posters are ready! I will bring some hard copies to rehearsal on Monday night. You can download versions for emailing/electronic posting (GIF) and printing/enlarging (PDF) from the Resources & Forms page.

Also, please bring all ad forms and payments on October 17. I need the ad form so I don’t miss any ads when putting the program together. Even though I use technology a lot, I still depend on the forms to make sure I don’t miss anything!

Lastly, I rehearsed Un bel di with Kyunghee Kim on Friday with my NVOT Wind Symphony. She is simply amazing. To preview what the potential of our performance with her in February will be like, consider attending my NVOT Fall Concert on Thursday, October 27 at 8:00 pm (140 Central Avenue, Old Tappan, NJ) to hear her singing this Puccini gem, in the same arrangement we will be using. Admission is free.

See you Monday!

Tommy Mueller sent this information on about the West Point Band in concert this week (Thanks, Tommy!). I’m attending the Thursday evening concert in Bloomfield. They are repeating that program on Friday night in Ridgewood.  Tom McCauley is guest conductor on Thursday night, and Sam Kaestner is performing a wild bass clarinet concerto. It should be a dynamic evening!
