All three instrumental ensembles sounded great in their recent rehearsals. Thank you to the students, parents, and private teachers for all the hard work. Some of the songs are challenging, yet as an ensemble, even the challenging songs came across well. I think it a good experience to realize the group can support you even if you cannot play every note--this is helpful not just in music, but in life.
PLEASE REMEMBER INSTRUMENTS AND MUSIC THURSDAY.
Please forgive some jokes and antics on my part on Thursday. I imagine some of the students are or will be nervous, and I am trying to help them relax and enjoy the performance. I have never seen Itzhak Perlman perform when he hasn't made a number of jokes, so I don't think I'm being disrespectful to the music.
Special note to 4th grade parents. I told your students that I would tell you to come early to watch the rehearsal if you think it will make your child more comfortable (10:45am). I told them I'd tell you to come late (at 11am) if your presence would make them more nervous. They laughed. You will have to decide for yourself when to come.
With warmth and light,
William Dolde
