I just received this email from Megan at TMH:

Just a heads up we’re doing a bit of spring cleaning here and have a dumpster set up in the back lot. This shouldn’t cut down too many parking spaces as it is on the right side of the parking lot and very close to the annex doors. This leaves the left side (where the numbers on the fence are) and a few spaces up against the other fence.

I’ve arrived here early, and I see the dumpster. The bottom line: about 3-4 spaces in the TMH rear lot are unavailable. More on this tonight.

This is it! The concert is this Saturday! We have only our regular Monday rehearsal tomorrow and the dress rehearsal on Wednesday. Lois, Tom, and Barbara are all on deck tomorrow and Wednesday, and Mallory will rehearse with us on Saturday evening at the sound check.

Please arrive in plenty of time at each rehearsal. Please plan to allow rehearsal on Wednesday until 10:00 pm if needed. See you tomorrow.

With only two weeks to go until our 25th anniversary, we’re coming down to the wire. Check the revised rehearsal schedule for tomorrow night. Tom McCauley is coming to conduct the LoPresti. We will also be having our last rehearsal on the Ticheli until we meet with Mallory Thompson on May 31.

I will be bringing hard copies of the personnel list for the program to pass out among the sections. Please check the listing and initial by your name to approve, or add/edit any missing or incomplete information.

See you tomorrow night!

Jongho Lee, my NVOT baritone sax player who attended our rehearsal on Monday, stayed until the end of the rehearsal with tenor sax player, Jake Hess. They sat in the front of the balcony, and Jongho sketched throughout the remainder of rehearsal. He was incredibly inspired by what he heard. This is the result, and I think it’s wonderful.
