Announcements for Tomorrow's Rehearsal and PARTY (January 4th)

Greetings! Welcome to 2020!

Recruiting
If you have friends, especially those who play violin or viola, we'd love to have them come play along at our rehearsal this Saturday. Reply to this email and let me know if this might be happening so we don't have too many surprises! Friends are also welcome to stay for the party!

Food for the Party
This Saturdaypotluck food for the party should be dropped off when you arrive in the hall. There will be a table provided, so the set up people know what they have to work with. 

This Saturday's rehearsal schedule will be as follows:
Sectionals 8:30 to 9:25
Strings - Go straight to separate sections at the beginning. Come back to the gym for full string sectional by 9:15.
Violin 1 on the stage
Violin 2 across from the woodwinds
Viola in the entrance hall
Cello in the gym
Bass in the hall by the art room
Woodwinds - down the right hall to the left
Brass - down the left hall to the right
Harps - I will assign you a space upon arrival where you can practice together

Full rehearsal beginning at 9:30 - Jupiter, then Mars

Lark Ascending at about 10:30

NEW DECADE Party at 11:00. We will start with food, then the White Elephant Gift Exchange. Keep it under $5. Extra kudos for music related items.

A note about repertoire: 
The concert on February 22nd will be Jupiter, Mars, The Lark Ascending, and one other piece (Rebecca's concerto - a rental piece arriving in January). We have Lark Ascending additional parts (if you didn't get one - Bassoons, Basses, maybe others) to hand out tomorrow. 

Baal-Shem (Rebecca Hale's piece) is in the mail. I received shipping notice today. We will be handing it out next week. (Narnia too. See below.)

We will also be handing out Narnia in January to add to our program for Abravanel Hall, March 2nd, so we will play Mars, Jupiter and Narnia for that performance.

Recital
The recital is scheduled for NEXT WEEK, January 11th, at 6:30 pm in the Brigham City Tabernacle. We currently have only 7 people signed up. We would like at least 3 more. PLEASE, if you have a piece to perform, as a solo or ensemble/duet, hit reply on this email and let me know! This is a great opportunity to perform! 

My current list is: Jacob Rockwood on piano, Archer Crawford on oboe, Talmage Kay on viola, Alexis Jensen on oboe, Dallin Murrow on cello, Kristene Murrow on violin, and Emily Rockwood on violin. If you signed up and I missed putting you on this list, please let me know so I can add you. If you want to participate, the deadline for signing up is this Sunday, January 5th. Thanks!
