Dear Senior Symphony,
I know this is typically a busy time for so many of you. Preparing for exams and school projects–maybe auditions, visiting schools. Taking part in school music events, robotics, theater, sports, and family activities, too. You do SO much, and you really inspire me to do the best I can for you and our orchestra. Keep up the great work!
I enjoyed teaching the brass sectional last week and, of course, our orchestral run-through of some of the music, too. This Sunday, a goal is to really have the Price well-established, so that we spend the final rehearsals making stronger and refined music with each other. I also want to let you play Fountains a couple times, too.
A little something from Giuseppe Verdi.
Full Album is SO great!
