Hello NUYCO! It's been a minute. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. We are so excited to get back into rehearsals!
We will have our normal rehearsal time this Saturday, January 8, 9:30-11:00 AM. One change, however - Maestro will be gone! Haha. So the section specialists are running sectionals for the entire rehearsal instead (with the usual break - your specialist is in charge). Please find your section below and focus your practicing on the spots listed! Come to rehearsal prepared to work hard!

Bass
