Hello All,
Here is the list of music that we will be rehearsing on Monday... and most likely will be the bulk of what we will be rehearsing for the remaining Mondays prior to our concert in Wilton on the 26th of March. If you haven't already done so please put that date on your calendars!! We will also be rehearsing on the 23rd (a Sunday) in the late afternoon/early evening. That time will be locked in as soon as Wilton gets back from their week vacation on Monday. Plan on a time after 5:00 on that day. The concert on the 26th will most likely be at 7:30, but again, I will confirm when Wilton is back in session. Both the rehearsal and the concert will be held in Wilton High School's Clune Center for the Arts.. (the rehearsal may be in the high school band room if the stage is unavailable)
The selections for Monday's rehearsal are as follows:
March Grandioso
Overture in Bb
Let Freedom Ring
San Antonio Dances
Amazing Grace
Lord of the Rings
Amazing Grace and Lord of the RIngs will be in combination with the Wilton High School Wind Ensemble.
See you on Monday!!!!
