We're getting close to our concert and, I'm excited.  I've heard from several of you, the young musicians, and from some of the coaches, that you feel like you're getting better prepared for this time around. 

Please be as prepared with personal practice as possible for these next four rehearsals.  We are going to work more during these next few weeks to perform the pieces without stopping and then coming back to work on details.  We need to feel how the whole piece fits together and to feel great about how our individual parts contribute the the whole team/orchestra!

We also will be introducing one more piece for smaller orchestra when the music arrives.  It will feature ivan Knapowski on bagpipe at the end of it. 

Remember to write a brief comment with your full name in order for us to include you in the drawing for the chocolate bar on Monday.  See you sson!
