Rehearsal 12/15
HI All,
Tomorrow is our last rehearsal before the break. We will run through as much music as we can again. Mario is in so we will read through that as well.
I have music for you if you did not get it last week.
See you Tuesday night.

Rehearsal 12/8
Hi All,
I have music for everybody for Tuesday. I am still waiting for “Mario” to arrive from Japan. If it arrives before Tuesday I will try to include it in your music. Still haven’t heard from “Zelda”, but I am not giving up hope.
Tuesday’s rehearsal will focus on the first half of the concert:
20th Century Fox
Star Wars Epic
Star Trek
Dr. Who
James Bond
Next week we will focus on the 2nd half: Comic Book Super Heroes and Video Games.
See you Tuesday
Ken
Individual playing
Hi All,
At Tuesday’s rehearsal I announced that I would like to hear people in the larger sections play so that I can better assign and balance parts. This is only so that I can know your playing. I only need to hear 16 measures of your choosing that shows me what you can do.
Next Tuesday we will rehearse as a full ensemble for the first half and then I will listen to people privately. This will include Flutes, Clarinets, Alto Sax’s, and Trumpets.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. My #1 goal is that everybody has a positive experience playing with the Plainville Wind Ensemble.
