HCB Rehearsal Notes Tuesday May 26

Hello everyone,
Our concert is quickly approaching! I’d like to thank Dave for running our rehearsal last week. The Norovirus came with quite the force to our house that had us down and out all week! I have included the poster for the concert once again, please feel free to share this around! Our rehearsal, Tuesday, May, 26th, will go as follows (time permitting):
– Chorale Warm-Up – Mercer’s March – Nimrod – Themes from an Outdoor Overture – How to train your dragon – First Suite in E flat – Curtain Call – Earhart – Summer – Beatles – Hockey Night in Canada (I decided to bring this back into play – Go Habs Go!)

*Upcoming Dates:*
– Tuesday, June 2nd – Rehearsal – *Monday, June 8**th** – Would we like to do a dress rehearsal the night before?* – Tuesday, June 9th – Concert at The Bella Rose Theatre – Tuesday, June 16th – Potluck get together
For the Beatles song, please note once again the following score changes and make sure they are marked in your music:
At the end of measure 124, jump directly to measure 179 (Rock, “Sgt. Pepper” section). Continue playing through to the end to measure 202 (with the fermata). After the fermata, jump back to the pick-up into measure 127, and we end at measure 178.
Please note: the pick-up into “Hey Jude” is a quarter-note pick-up for oboe and horn.
Thanks everyone, and see you Tuesday,
Holly

HRM is looking for people to answer this survey

Hi everyone,
Although you may have seen this posted earlier today, I wanted to share the link to our annual road safety survey: www.halifax.ca/home/surveys. This is a shortened version of last year’s survey that will provide us with our KPI results. We plan to do the longer survey every five years which will also involve mail-out invitations like last year.
Please spread the word through your networks and I hope you can all participate individually as well.
Thanks, *SAM TRASK, P.ENG (**SHE/HER)* *SUPERVISOR, ROAD SAFETY & TRANSPORTATION* *TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT | PUBLIC WORKS*
