Well, I’m later posting this than I’d anticipated. A busy work week combined with the stress of having broken my favourite (only) baton has slowed me down. But, here I am, and I have a lot to talk about today!<\/p>\n
First off – I continue to be extremely pleased with our progress as an ensemble. There are so many great things happening! As I expressed on Wednesday, I remain convinced that we are set up to surpass the level of playing from last year. You continue to give me your best effort, and it’s really paying off!<\/p>\n
Now, for the line up I expect to run on Wednesday – this is not in order:<\/p>\n
1 – The 80s
\n2 – Michelle\/Eleanor Rigby\/Yesterday
\n36 – Space and Beyond
\n40 – Windjammer
\n58 – Les Miserables
\n59 – Super Mario
\n63 – Hallelujah
\n64 – Bolero<\/p>\n
NOTE: I have changed the way I conduct the final section of MARS in #36 -“Space and Beyond.” <\/strong>Starting at bar 82 (Rit and Broaden – 4 before 86), the whole band plays exactly the same thing: a triplet, a quarter note, then a mix of quarter notes and rests. Beginning on beat 2 (the quarter note after the triplet), I will only be conducting the notes you play. That means, every quarter note you see from 82 to 86 should be treated as though it has a fermata on it and I will cue you for each note<\/strong>. No rests will be conducted. This worked FAR better in our rehearsal last week, and eliminates anyone playing in the rests. (I worry about where the silences should be).<\/p>\n I strongly encourage everyone to take a few minutes and listen to Windjammer at the following link (this is from the publisher – so I’m confident it’s professional studio musicians): Here’s a link to a university band performing it (they tack on a coda, which is a change): And here’s one from a high school performance (I’m including this because I heard something here that I really like – I plan to work that out next rehearsal! Here’s a hint: it’s an accompaniment part): And, finally, we have 3 rehearsals left before our first concert<\/strong>. Boy, does the time fly by! I expect that next week, I should be in a position to provide a repertoire list, although perhaps not in concert order quite yet.<\/p>\n I hope to see you all on Wednesday!<\/p>\n Happy playing!<\/p>\n Elizabeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I’m later posting this than I’d anticipated.
