Home practice preparation for Nov. 9-10 Rehearsals
Please learn YOUR assigned part BEFORE you arrive at rehearsal.
Rehearsal time should be used to put the music together.
We had very productive rehearsals this week because the home practice level was higher. We still have a lot to learn, and you need to keep practicing that which you have already done well in rehearsal in order to do it well in performance. Below are the performance dates and the repertoire for each date. You should know your part now on all music for November and December performances! We can do it! Thanks!
