Congratulations on making STATE!
I am so incredibly proud of you guys! To make the top 8 in the State of Utah as a Sweepstakes Orchestra is quite the accomplishment! And to receive Superior ratings on our performance was icing on the cake- congratulations!
…
We are working hard to get ready for our upcoming Concerto Night, so please practice the following:
Suite for Strings (A Roving): Practice it with a metronome! And be sure to take the sixteenth notes slowly until you get them accurate, then speed it up. Drop high stuff down an octave if you need to.
CONCERTOS!!!
***Listen to recordings of these pieces to get a sense of the musicality and style***
…
Concerto Night is Friday, May 13th. Call time 6pm, concert at 7pm.
We will have a Pot-Luck Dessert Social afterward, so please bring a dessert to share 🙂
