Last Saturday's Rehearsal:

Thanks to everyone who braved the storm! I couldn't believe we had 8 inches of snow at noon, and then it started Raining! What planet are we on?

Hey, flutists! You missed out on some friendly & free coaching! Jana came to rehearsal with me and covered the missing flute parts!... She might be talked into coming again on the 8th (she flies out on the 9th), but only if you are coming to rehearsal, K?

Things are starting to shape up for our next concert, and we even tried some music for wind ensemble. Thanks again for a great rehearsal, and Enjoy your Christmas and New Year break! My life is better because of you, and I hope you are enjoying youth symphony this year. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make things even better!

Today's Rehearsal:

Today we read through the Accolay for the first time, and we worked together on the Schubert (2nd Movement). We also sight-read the Waltz from Sleeping Beauty, but we were hoping it would have more brassy & woodwindy parts, so there's a chance we won't be playing it, but we will be playing something a little more interesting for the winds & brass.

See ya next week for our last rehearsal before the break! :)

Today's Rehearsal:

We enjoyed sight reading the Bruch concerto and the second movement of the Schubert today. It will be really neat to play the Schubert straight through at Abravanel Hall in February.

We will have the music for the Accolay concerto by next week. 

The winds went in the other room and sight-read a piece together today. Funeral music by Wagner! They thought that was pretty funny. (the funeral part!) The strings worked on some tough passages in the Schubert together.

Thanks for a great rehearsal. We missed a few people today that we didn't expect to be gone. We hope everyone's okay!
