Good Afternoon, Senior Symphony
I sure do miss seeing you between Mondays! Good luck to all of you who will be playing performances over the weekend and to all those marching in the chilly weather at State!ย I hope to see some of you there : )
And while weโre nowhere close to being performance-ready, that wasย super fun going through the entire program of November concert music.ย Holy moly, there are so many powerful, cool, athletic, and passionate moments in this music!
Also, thanks so much for attending the Chamber Orchestra concert! I saw a few of you out there and I just think that was so nice of you to take the time to support your friends by being there.ย Whether or not you could come last night, just know that being present is a beautiful thing and so significant to others in your life.ย Whether you realize it or not, you make a big difference to a lot of people.ย You are awesome and you really really matter.
So, we only have three more Monday rehearsals until we perform at Play Your Partโฆ.and notice our Friday Dress Rehearsal, too, please.
And then ourย Tuesday, November 19 community concerts are just around the corner.ย Our two concerts are first here at MYAC and then weโll travel by coach buses to Oconomowoc and perform for their student musicians from throughout the district. The expectation is that everyone in Senior Symphony performs these concerts. We need the whole orchestra to be present. Information is being sent to you, so please be on the lookout.
And brass players! Iโd like for you to play before an Admirals Game to represent MYSO and the city.ย Weโve been invited, and youโll be receiving information about that opportunity, too.
Take a look at our rehearsal line up below, and if you havenโt already, please send out your requests for Play Your Part.ย For those who wish to tour,ย 80% of anything over $150 is credited to youย so that your own tour cost goes down!ย Itโs amazing!
See you on Monday!
Best,
Carter
