Hi Everyone. I’m getting used to typing 2025, but it’s true that it isn’t always easy to teach an old dog new tricks! Our rehearsal is at Ashbrook School from 7 – 8:30 this coming Tuesday, January 14th.
I’m sending this out a bit early in the day because I’m playing a concert with the Salem Symphonic Winds this afternoon and need to be there early for a rehearsal and sound check.
Here is a quick note from Cheryl: We will be working on Outdoor Overture again, and adding Rogue River and Pacific Crest (both are grade 4) to our rehearsal. Reading the new pieces, then working on them (we likely will not be able to totally finish working on any of these three, this Tues.) Please spend some time looking at these pieces before rehearsal.
Concert Producer Needed: Please consider stepping up to take on the role of concert organizer/producer for our March concert. Many of the details have already been determined, but the producer gets to oversee all the steps and activities that make our concerts special. You don’t need to do all the work yourself, but it helps so much to have someone in charge of the “big picture” so that everything gets done. Please consider talking with Shannon Bowdle, Peg or Sarah G to get a better idea of what is involved. They’ve been doing this for awhile and have good notes, checklists and timelines to work from. You’ll have all the support you need.
