We're going ahead with the recital tonight. Due to the weather, please plan extra travel time. We will go ahead with it, with whoever can make it. Stay safe!
Julie Gardner | NUYS Managing Director
Tomorrow at rehearsal we will be handing out two new pieces and putting one on the "long term work" list. We will be performing Scheherazade on the April concert, next spring, in its entirety. That is the goal. This is a phenomenal piece of music, and we know we are capable of it, but realize the need for more time to really make it amazing.For the November concert our pieces will be as follows (drum roll please)
William Tell Overture, RossiniFlute Concerto in D, first movement, Mozart (Allison Francis, soloist)Pirates of the CaribbeanSleigh Ride, Leroy Anderson
We will keep Scheherazade and work on it throughout the year.
Also, congratulations to our other concerto soloists this year who will be
MaKenzie Harris, Gliere Horn Concerto, Feb 20Megan Brasher, Barber Violin Concerto, April 28
The other four musicians who participated in concerto auditions will be featured performers on our Recital Night which is set for January 30 in the Brigham City Tabernacle. The remainder of the program is open to solo and small groups of students from both orchestras. Sign ups will begin soon!
One note about the retreat: If you are still on the "maybe" list, please realize that this is rehearsal that weekend (actually, it's 3 rehearsals!), and if you don't have another reason to not participate, please make the effort to attend. We do have fun, we do play games, have skits, and be crazy, but we need you at rehearsal too!We have people that are coming to just part of it, or we have had people not spend the night and just come up Friday night and then again on Saturday (and I can let you know what the costs are for partial participation... just ask), but it's really best to attend the whole thing!
I don't know for sure how many chaperons I need until I have a specific commitment, one way or the other, from each of you.
