I found that they were extremely productive this year &#8211; I think we&#8217;ve got a great foundation for our new pieces and I&#8217;m really excited about where I see us headed this season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next rehearsal is WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5 at 7:00 pm. All rehearsals going forward will be at BOURKEVALE COMMUNITY CENTRE &#8211; 100 Ferry Rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehearsal will be drawn from the following list, in no particular order (* = pretty much guaranteed to play):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> 7 &#8211; Swing the Mood <\/li><li>22 &#8211; The Stripper*<\/li><li>30 &#8211; Funniculi, Funnicula<\/li><li>44 &#8211; Glee Showstoppers*<\/li><li>66 &#8211; Arctic Fire*<\/li><li>69 &#8211; City of Dreams*<\/li><li>70 &#8211; The Maple Leaf Forever*<\/li><li>71 &#8211; Garlandstone<\/li><li>72 &#8211; Where No Man Has Gone Before<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This next six weeks is when we&#8217;ll really sink out teeth into our repertoire. It&#8217;s always my favourite time of the season &#8211; what really gets me excited is breaking down scores into their components and building them up! There&#8217;s going to be some fun stuff to look into this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also getting really excited to share the background bits about City of Dreams &#8211; there is a LOT going on, and I&#8217;ve just been bursting to talk about it! It is, and I don&#8217;t say this lightly, my favourite piece composed for concert band. EVER. (Note the caveat!) If that&#8217;s not pressure for you to love it, I don&#8217;t know what is! Actually, I&#8217;m convinced that you will love it (if you don&#8217;t already) because there&#8217;s something juicy for just about everyone. Sorry, Flutes and Oboes. (Not sorry). It&#8217;s musically complex and satisfying, but it also is accessible to an audience. Fair warning: I&#8217;ve listened to it 25 times and I still can&#8217;t hear it without crying during the second movement. I will probably always cry. (Hint: that should be your goal &#8211; to make me cry. If that happens, things are going well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly enough, I read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicfm.com\/music-news\/music-gives-goosebumps\/\">somewhere<\/a> recently that experiencing goosebumps when listening to music is not a universal experience. As many of you know (see: Hallelujah, City of Dreams, etc), I also cry. Usually the goosebumps start first (arms and torso, if you must know), followed immediately by the water works. That&#8217;s just what happens when it&#8217;s SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN&#8217;T EVEN. Yet more proof that I&#8217;m a weirdo &#8211; but a music-loving one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I must be off as I&#8217;ve fallen down the Classic FM rabbit hole and MUST listen to a Rottweiler &#8220;sing&#8221; Bach&#8217;s &#8220;Air on the G String.&#8221; (I am not even kidding. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicfm.com\/composers\/bach\/dog-sings-air-on-a-g-string\/\">See<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you on June 5!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Saturday morning rehearsals are done for the season.
