LYS: Great Concert Tonight! Nov 20, 2010

Greetings!

This is Julie Gardner, 435.723.8262, GJulieKay@gmail.com. 
Please contact me with any questions, or, as usual, with attendance issues.

Thank you! What a lovely concert!

Thanks to everyone for their hard work & preparation for the concert tonight. I appreciate all the practice & preparation, travel from as far as Riverdale and Garland, hauling of percussion equipment, help with sectionals and workshops, attendance at our retreat, and cookie baking!  

I noticed that 3 people were absent at the concert. I am so sorry... I have a feeling they were confused on the time! I loved doing it at 5pm, but I didn't mean to leave anyone in the dust. I suppose this is why it's so important to read these emails!

Please have a wonderful holiday this week, travel safely, and enjoy your time off. If you forgot to hand in your music, please bring it to the next rehearsal. I haven't checked through it yet, but if you did not hand it in, you know who you are! :)

Calendar in the Near Future:

November 27: No Rehearsal! Happy Thanksgiving!

December 4, 11, 18: Regular Rehearsals, ACYI, 9:00-11:15am

LYS Saturday Report for November 13, 2010

Greetings!

This is Julie Gardner, 435.723.8262, GJulieKay@gmail.com. 
Please contact me with any questions, or, as usual, with attendance issues.

Cookies:
I'm looking for 3 likely people who are willing to bring a couple dozen cookies for a little "after concert soiree" in the lobby this Saturday. Please email me. I just don't have time to call, and I've actually had this assignment for several weeks and keep forgetting to ask, so please save my skin and volunteer. :)

November 13 Concerto Auditions:

Congratulations to Krystell Taylor (LYCO) and our own Sarah Pehrson for your great auditions for Concerto Night! We look forward to performing with you on Feb 5th. We also have one other soloist (on the viola) who we will announce later if the music all works out!

November 13 Rehearsal:

Thanks to the strings for coming early! You are awesome! 

I'm sure we all felt the need to do some practicing for this Saturday's concert! Let's be sure we spend the time to make it great! It was also really nice to have Rob back, and to have the percussion equipment out. Fun Fun!

This Saturday, November 20th:

This is our concert day! Yay!

I will be at the Middle School Auditorium unloading percussion and setting up at 8:30 am. Anyone willing to help is welcome!

Rehearsal is from 9-11am on the stage. LYCO will be rehearsing from 11-12, so we need to be prompt and focused. :)

Concert: Be there by 4:30 pm. The concert starts at 5pm. LYCO will play first (about 20 minutes) then we will take the stage.

There is an admission charge! It defrays the cost of renting the auditorium. It is $3 for adults, $2 for children 11 & under, $2 for seniors, and $12 for families all living under one roof.  Thank you for your support in this! Our budget is extremely tight and we believe strongly in continuing to provide this program for our youth!

Calendar in the Near Future:

November 27: No Rehearsal! Happy Thanksgiving!

December 4, 11, 18: Regular Rehearsals, ACYI, 9:00-11:15am

LYS Saturday Report for November 6, 2010

Greetings!

Please read this! I need strings to come early next week. I did not announce this at rehearsal! See highlighted sections below for full info! AND: Please reply to this email to acknowledge that you received it!
Oh, this is Julie Gardner, 435.723.8262, GJulieKay@gmail.com. 
Please contact me with any questions, or, as usual, with attendance issues.

Today's Rehearsal:

A Huge Thank You to Amy Elmer and Cami Dilg for assisting in our rehearsal this morning. Along with Nada & Sarah Pehrson and me, we were able to split up for sectionals. Thank you, Thank you! You are all awesome. We were missing a few people, some I had heard from, some I hadn't! We hope you all come back next week! :)

Next Week, November 13th:

I meant to announce this at the end of rehearsal this morning, but I lost track of time and we ended rather abruptly: I need to have all Strings ready to rehearse next week on the 13th at 8:30am! Yes, that means everyone that plays violin, viola, cello, or bass! We have a lot to accomplish, and I feel strongly that the strings need to meet a half-hour early. So, next week, please be ready to play by 8:30. This means arrival time: 8:20! 

I will be there by 8:10 to set up. Big smiles and giggles for anyone who comes early enough to help out!

Winds & Brass, please arrive by 8:50am, come quietly into the band room & set up your stuff, then warm up in the orchestra room so you are ready to rehearse by 9:00am! This will facilitate the best use of our time. 

Does it sound like I'm a little worried about the upcoming concert? Well... I'm not worried, but I do think we need a longer rehearsal next week, so I'm asking for one!  Thanks!

Remember, the Nov 20th concert is at 5pm. Please plan to be there by 4:30pm.

Calendar in the Near Future:

November 13: String Sectional, 8:30-9:00am.  Regular Rehearsal, 9-11:15 am, ACYI.

November 13: Concerto Auditions, 11:30am.

November 20: Dress Rehearsal (you do not need your concert attire - it just means we are rehearsing on the stage) at BEMS, 18 S 500 E, Brigham City, 9-11am

November 20: Concert at BEMS, 5pm (arrival time: 4:30pm) Click here for the run-down on formal concert attire, or look at your Membership Information sheet from the beginning of the year.

November 27: No Rehearsal! Happy Thanksgiving!

LYS Saturday Report for October 30, 2010

Greetings!

This is Julie Gardner, 435.723.8262, GJulieKay@gmail.com.
Please contact me with any questions, or, as usual, with attendance issues.

Last Saturday's rehearsal:

Thanks to Chuck Thompson for conducting our rehearsal last Saturday! We really appreciate his time & effort and the chocolate he brought for our treat table, and for the game... If I hadn't been so anxious to rehearse, we would have spent more time on it and it would have been more fun!

Thanks to everyone for bringing treats!

This Saturday, Nov 6th:

This Saturday we will be spending some time in sectionals. Please be sure to practice your trouble spots beforehand and come prepared to work together and learn from each other. We will spend the first hour in sectionals and the second hour together putting up with my conducting! :) Rob will be back on the 13th. Yay!

Please be careful to keep the door propped with the garbage can. Need I say more? Oh, sorry so many people were locked out temporarily last Saturday. I just couldn't believe so many people were late! Ha Ha.

Upcoming Concert Time Change (Very Important So I'm Leaving It Here For You To Read Again):

Our November 20th concert will be at 5pm at Box Elder Middle School Auditorium. Please make a note of this and be sure to plan on being there by 4:30pm. The concert will be combined with LYCO and will last about 1 hour.

Calendar in the Near Future:

November 6, 13: Regular Rehearsals, 9-11:15 am, ACYI.

November 13: Concerto Auditions. If you have a prepared piece or you have a friend who does, please consider auditioning to be one of our soloists for Concerto Night. Please refer to the press release at the previous blog post on the blog. I have only one person auditioning for sure. Please let me know if you are planning on auditioning. It's a great solo opportunity!

November 20: Dress Rehearsal (you do not need your concert attire - it just means we are rehearsing on the stage) at BEMS, 18 S 500 E, Brigham City, 9-11am

A note from Austin Weyand on an upcoming concert featuring a great Celtic Fiddler:

Hi!

Just wanted to give you a heads up about the up and coming "Music in the City" concert for November. We have Leaping Lulu performing on November 19. Sara Law in that group is a great celtic fiddler. I think some of you would really enjoy the show. Thanks!
