Great job on Finals, everyone! I was really impressed with the amount of preparation for this playing test and with your growth this year. If I had given you this music at the beginning of the year, most of you would have panicked and had no idea how to approach it. Instead, most of you panicked and play well anyway!

Lynx...I mean, links


Links for audio recordings of our new songs are on the right!
Also, music folders are on order. The manufacturer was affected by Hurricane Sandy so it's taking longer than usual. We should have them by the end of January.

Listening assignment review tomorrow

You will NOT need your instruments for tomorrow's class, Wednesday 1/8. We will be broadening our musical horizons in a different way by having a class discussion of our listening assignment. I have read all the ones I have received and you have a lot of great ideas!

Also great job in today's rehearsal all Orchestra members. We learned a really tough part of Drifen* and it got noticeably better every time we went over it.
