With 3 rehearsals left, it is time for full run throughs of the major production numbers. Some nit-picking will still happen, but, mostly we will concentrate on transitions and the tempo changes that happen in them. Also, items of balance and intonation will be cited. Areas of weakness, due to extreme exposure (like bar 38 of the Star Wars Marches, for example) or extreme registers (2 bars before C in the Strauss) will be considered. For clarinets: if you do nothing else during the week, at least play a C major scale starting on the C on the 3rd. space and play up to the D, 2 ledger lines and a space above the staff and back down. Flutes: Bb major in slow half notes from Bb 1 ledger line and a space above the staff. Control in these areas will only further enhance the Strauss piece. I would like to take a few minutes to hear those running 16th notes in the Star Wars piece, so maybe you could give them a little attention at home. I was pleased with the overall sound on the 21st. It is all on schedule and should peak very nicely for the show on the 18th. of June. Please do your best to be at all rehearsals from here on in. The Kermese performance this Saturday has a bad weather component to it, namely: If it is rainy and/or cold, we won't be playing. If it's on, report by 10:15. Cancellation will be by e-mail, Mark's website and Twitter and will be posted by 9:00 a.m. local time (1200Z). Thanks very much, everyone. M.C.
Upcoming Jobs
All of the music to be played at the Kermesse will be from the Funny Books and the main folders. We will start at 10:30 and go to 11:15, break for 30 minutes, then play from 11:45-12:30. Wear band shirts and bring your own stands and clips to hold music to the stand. If the weather is bad enough to cancel: watch for a cancellation via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter (@kentsteerwell) and on my website by 9:00 a.m. that morning. Music will be drawn from both folders, ie. the main books and the funny books. ---------------------------------------------------- Spring Concert June 18, Bella Rose Arts Centre, 7:00 p.m.
