Dear friends,
I look forward to seeing you tonight. Here is the order for rehearsal.
Come Thou Fount for tuning and overall tone
La Traviata for application of the warmup
Klezmer Karnival especially for those playing it for the first time
Duke Ellington for swing-style
Light Cavalry for getting it under our fingertips and rhythmical interpretation
Procession of the Nobles if time permits for fingertips.
We have secured Daryl Duff for our Christmas Concert. He has provided us with an arrangement of Christmas in the Islands, a calypso celebration of Christmas, however the arrangement is for jazz combom. Chris harp is adapting it for full band.
Our chorus director, Danny Moore has written a Christmas song of celebration which I will be arranging for us.
I hope to finalize a date for our performance at the City Market TODAY!
Jim
