Fall Rehearsals are Coming Up
Posted on 09/15/08
Dear Cascade Winds Friends,
I can hardly wait till we get together for our first rehearsal on Thursday, Sept. 25. Some things you should know:
- I'm pumped to get going--hope you are too.
- We're going to meet for fall term rehearsals in the Summit HS band room (our gathering/warm up room for last year's concerts).
- Well be playing some terrific music. Get psyched if you like Van der Roost, Hazo, Dello Joio, Goldman, Schwarz and/or von Suppe.
- If you know a great player who needs to perform with us, put 'em in touch with me. We're pretty set, but have some room.
More notes:
- REHEARSALS: All rehearsals will be at Summit HS. Please be in place, warmed up and ready to play at 7:00 p.m. Especially this first rehearsal, you should be there early enough to get the music from your section leader. NOTE: One rehearsal will be on a Tuesday due to Symphony conflicts. We will rehearse Tuesday, October 21, instead of Thursday, October 23, at a location to be named later.
- REGISTRATION: Please be prepared to register at break at this FIRST rehearsal. The cost of a one-credit class at COCC has remained the same, a total of $66.75. [Plus, if you have NEVER taken a class of any kind at COCC there is a one-time-never-pay-again fee of $25 for new students.] Please bring a check (or cash is okay, too) for the correct amount made out to COCC. Some scholarship funds will be available. Please let me know at break if you need a scholarship application.
- CONCERTS: Sunday, December 7, Sunday, March 8 and Sunday, May 31, all at 2:00 p.m. at Summit High School. As you see, we will be doing just one concert each term this year with the goal of building up audience numbers. Check now to make sure you will be able to play the December concert as well as consistently attend rehearsals from September 25 through December 4. There may also be a dress rehearsal on December 6. It isn't fair to the group to commit to playing and then not come to rehearsals on a regular basis. If you have any questions about rehearsal absences, please talk to Dan.
See you soon.
Cheerily,
Dan
