Hi Folks!
Well, we’re off and running on our 2025 season! And what a season it’s looking to be! We had a fantastic crew at our kick-off rehearsal and I think we really set the tone for the summer.
Our next rehearsal will be Saturday, May 14 May 17 from 10 am – 12 pm at the St James Legion – 1755 Portage Ave.
We’ll be drawing from the following list of pieces:
- 21 – A Disney Spectacular
- 42 – Northwind
- 51 – Entrance of the Gladiators
- 54 – The Drunken Sailor
- 57 – Wade in the Water
- 68 – Jazz Chaconne
- 70 – The Maple Leaf Forever
- 77 – Sesame Street Celebration
- 78 – Baba Yetu
- 79 – Zoolantis!
I would encourage you to do some listening to help you sort out some of the rhythms and feel in our new pieces as follows:
- Zoolantis! (no narration)
- Zoolantis! (with narration)
- Baba Yetu (This is the opening of Civilization IV, so is the original source)
- Baba Yetu (This is the arrangement we’re playing. I’d recommend having your part in front of you to see where it fits into the whole picture).
I think that’s about it for this week. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Elizabeth.
