Cascade Winds for Spring -- With New Rehearsal Day

Posted on 03/22/09

This e-mail is going out to all past, present and, hopefully, future players with the Cascade Winds. We hope you will be able to join us for Spring Term 2009 under the direction of Dan Judd.

REHEARSALS: First rehearsal for Spring Term is TUESDAY, March 31, 7:00 p.m. at Summit HS. For various scheduling conflict reasons, rehearsals for this term have been moved from Thursday to Tuesday. 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.

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 (in confidence of course) if you need a scholarship application.

CONCERT: Sunday, May 31, all at 2:00 p.m. at Summit High School. We had a great turnout for our March concert but we are still just doing the one concert this May. Check now to make sure you will be able to play the May concert as well as consistently attend rehearsals from March 31 through May 26 with a final rehearsal on Saturday, May 30, 7:00-9:00 p.m. 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 contact Dan: dan.judd@bend.k12.or.us

We will be performing works including Slava, Malaguena, 2nd Suite in F by Holst, Radetzky March, Sky Is Waiting by Hazo, Lord of the Rings, Funiculi, Funicula and that seldom played tune, Stars & Stripes Forever.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me.
