This Thursday, August 20, is the final day of rehearsal for the summer, unless you are playing for the Grand Ball on the 29th. If you are a beginner who wants to get into intermediate orchestra this fall, work hard on those cadences. They must be played correctly (timing, pitches, fingering and bowings) to pass.
September 19th from 11-4:00 will be the Blackberry Jam Acoustic Music Festival at the Philip Foster Farm. Anyone can come and play along at these jam sessions, and you are welcome to listen to the music or be a volunteer for the day. No charge for guests or musicians. The Dutch Oven Cookoff will be happening that day, too, so there will be plenty of things to do and see.
Fall term will begin on September 22nd and will run through December 10th, with a performance at 6:45 on the 12th. Rehearsals will begin at 6:00. No rehearsals will be held the week of Thanksgiving, although we may have a performance on the Sunday evening before Thanksgiving.
If you are getting back into band at school (and I hope you are), please invite other band members to join the orchestra. It's a great way to develop additional skills, play more music, and make more friends. Flutes, clarinets, horns, percussion are welcome. No saxophones, please!
Remember you can download cadences and forms at the website at www.orchestracada.org at any time. See you on September 22nd!
