Subject: ccband First Rehearsal of 2009
Happy New Year! The Corvallis Community Band will have its first rehearsal of 2009 on Tuesday, January 6, at 7 PM in the Band room at Linus Pauling Middle School. We'll be turning in the Christmas music that we prepared so well and didn't' get to play. We'll schedule a "Christmas in July" concert this summer and feature the pieces we worked so hard on.
We'll be getting two new pieces for the February concert: America First March by Sousa and An American Celebration by Melvin Shelton. We'll also get a couple of other pieces to read that we may use for OSU Commencement and/or in the summer.
We have only five rehearsals to prepare for the concert with the OSU Wind Ensemble on February 8. There are only five pieces to prepare: America First March, American Celebration, Rushmore, George Washington Bicentennial March, and A More Perfect Union: The Legacy of James Madison. We can do it (Yes We Can!)
The CCBand Board is meeting on Monday night to work out some changes and details for Winter Term and beyond, so listen for some announcements at Tuesday's rehearsal.
I hope you enjoyed your vacation and are all ready to play again. I, for one, am looking forward to it.
See you Tuesday
Sue
