PLEASE READ-Assignment & Schedule for Monday, 9/23

Hello, Senior Symphony!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and perhaps a more relaxed pace today than your school week.  I look forward to seeing you on Monday–you did an outstanding job last week.

If you recall, I asked you to prepare Brahms 3^rd movement material for this week, so we’ll focus on that this Monday, 9/23.  We’ll also review the 1^st movement, play the Holst, and then read both John Williams “Across the Stars and music from the movie, The Incredibles. : )

On September 30, we’ll spend a couple hours in sectionals focusing on the 2^nd and 4^th movements and then we’ll rehearse them with whatever else we have time for.  It should be fun!

Please read to the bottom!

Very best,

Carter
