Hello everyone,
It was so nice to see everyone back at last week’s first rehearsal! I can also tell it’s been a little while since I’ve conducted—my arm definitely reminded me afterward.
This week’s rehearsal will be split into two parts: we’ll spend the first half working on our regular folder music, and the second half doing a run-through of our waterfront concert set. *Tuesday, September 22**nd** (6:30-8:30)* 6:30–7:25 p.m. – Regular Folder Music
1. Warm-up Chorales 2. *On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss* 3. *Jurassic Park* 4. *Victory at Sea* 5. *Echoes of the Silent*
7:25 p.m.
– 50/50 Draw, Announcements, etc.
7:30 – 8:30 p.m. – Waterfront Concert Run-Through
If you’re *not* performing at the waterfront concert, you’re welcome to head home after the 50/50 draw. Our rehearsal (and performance) order will be:
1. *Canada day march (Maple Leaf Forever will go first, followed by O Canada – thank you Michael for the suggestion!)* 2. *Armed Forces March Past* 3. *Pennsylvania 6-5000* 4. *theme from spider man* 5. *Sentimental Journey* 6. *Magnificent seven* 7. *Rogers & Hammerstein* 8. *Hawaii Five-O Theme* 9. *Pink panther/moon river/baby elephant walk* 10. *Cape St. Mary’s* 11. *Disney Blockbusters* 12. *Instant Concert*
