April 21 agenda

First, I was very disappointed to learn that none of you had heard of H.R. Pufnstuf and Witchiepoo. As your punishment, you must watch this: https://youtu.be/obxfuFrUTzg

I am so sorry that none of you have had the pleasure of 1970's Saturday morning TV. 

Second, thank you for a GREAT rehearsal last night. I really appreciate your professionalism and attention to the rehearsal. On April 21, we return to Heineman where we will have our final rehearsal. Please try to arrive a little before 7pm so that we can begin without delay. At the end of rehearsal, I'll need everyone's help to break down the room and return it to normal.

Three more notes:

  • Please be careful when moving around the instruments. Use extra caution and keep a wide berth. Above all, don't walk through the instrumental ensemble when going on/off stage.
  • Other than a few tempo issues, the one big lapse last night was the section entrances in "Haste, Haste to Town." Please review your part while also reviewing the other parts. Know what needs to happen so that you come in on time and in the right place.
  • Please make sure to turn your pages quietly. Trust me, the audience will hear page turns if we're not careful.
Please spread the word about the concert. Let's pack the joint!
