Orchestra B Overview - 2/19

Countdown to Concerto Concert: 3 regular rehearsals left!

Other upcoming events:

• Recital on Sunday, March 3 (see e-mail for confirmation of your date)
• Recital rehearsal for those performing on March 3 will be held at rehearsal on February 26 - bring your instrument, your solo part, and the piano accompaniment if not from a Suzuki book.
• Seating Auditions for Orchestra B will be held on February 26 at orchestra rehearsal

Information about seating auditions:

• Please prepare all three pieces (Witches Dance, Allegro, and Scherzo) - you will be asked to play excerpts from one of those three pieces.
• Seating auditions will take place one at a time outside the rehearsal room.
• If you are unable to attend rehearsal on the 26th for any reason, you will be seated at the back of the section for this concert.  Remember that there is still one more concert for which we will do seating (Jazz and Jam) so please do not come to rehearsal if you are sick. 

Mr. Valencia mentioned using a metronome app to help you maintain a steady beat while practicing.  Here is a website metronome that doesn't require anything to be downloaded: http://www.webmetronome.com/.  You can change the tempo and the number of beats to match your music. 

Don't forget - we will be taking the names of students who arrive after 6:30 and who are late returning from break next week.  There is a lot of progress to make before our next concert and we need every minute of it!  Arrive on time, with everything you need (including a pencil!), and be ready to play right at 6:30 pm.
