Rehearsal Monday at New Rochelle HS

As announced, this Monday’s rehearsal will be held at New Rochelle HS. Click here for directions. DO NOT USE GPS or you will end up at the opposite end of campus.

The rehearsal plan is posted here. I’ll be working on the sections noted in the plan, but aim to try to play through all of the Navarro and Cuong because our harpist is coming to sit in and listen, and it is my hope to give her a chance to hear all of both the works because both showcase the harp.

See you tomorrow evening!

Full rehearsal at TMH on Monday

Rehearsal

We return to TMH on Monday for a full rehearsal. Malcolm Jones will join us for the first part of rehearsal to rehearse the Creston. The remainder of the rehearsal will be devoted to the Cuong and Navarro. As usual, the rehearsal plan is posted here.

Tickets for upcoming concerts

Caramoor posted our concert on July 4 for ticketing for Caramoor members. Tickets for the general public will go on sale soon. I posted the coupon code for discounted tickets for our members in our Slack Members workspace, and I will repeat it from the podium on Monday night.

The ticketing page for our May 10 concert will be posted as soon. When I have the Box Office URL, I will share it, and post the Friends & Family coupon code on Slack, as well as announce the code in rehearsal. (We don’t post the coupon codes here to maintain privacy for our members.)

Performance research

Selfless music director that I am, I’ve been in Ft. Lauderdale since Tuesday researching possible performance venues for a future WSW “Tour de la Florida.” We’ll see what develops. Brutal — know — but someone had to do it!

Sectionals this week

Sectionals!

The sectionals we held at the beginning of the cycle for the fall and winter concerts paid off in spades, and so we are repeating this again. Woodwinds & brass will meet at Irvington Presbyterian Church, 25 North Broadway in Irvington. Percussion will meet at TMH, on stage.

  • Woodwinds meet in the annex building behind the main building. BRING A MUSIC STAND.
  • Brass meets in the Parlor of the main building (use the side door adjacent to parking). BRING A MUSIC STAND.
  • Jessica & Curt will rotate between the two sectionals for winds. Eric will organize and run the sectional for percussion.
  • The rehearsal plan is posted here.

Please start to share the 8:00 pm on May 10 concert date with family and friends — let’s aim for a sell-out house! As soon as we have a TMH ticketing page and coupon code, we will share them.

Slack!

It’s not too late to join the conversation on Slack. It’s not only a great communication platform, but it is also an excellent way to to distribute Bandcamp codes for our recordings. If you have not yet done so, you can still join by clicking here.
