Week of Dec 12

Another good rehearsal!!! Thanks for continuing to work hard during our rehearsals.

As mentioned in rehearsal Thursday, there are now two confirmed dates on the calendar:

Feb3/4 - Dunlap High School Jazz Festival, Dunlap, IL (more details are forthcoming but we have to wait to see if we are slotted for Friday night or Saturday. Dunlap is about 1/5 hours Northwest of Normal. This will be our first festival performance and maybe our first public outing. I will be announcing the program for that shortly after we return from break.

Feb 11 - Evanston Township High School Jazz Festival. This will be an early morning leave/ late evening return trip.

REHEARSALS THIS WEEK


Tuesday Dec 13 - 6:30 - 8:00

Pacific Coastin'
Running Lion
Blue Skies
Woodchoppers Ball (Swing Classics Book)
Sightread some festival possibilities

Thursday Dec 15th - TBD

I NEED TO KNOW A DEFINITE ANSWER  BY TUESDAY DEC 13 AS TO WHETHER YOU ARE INTERESTED AND AVAILABLE FOR THIS REHEARSAL IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE!! YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO SAY YES!! Keep your finals at the top of your priority list.

If we have a enough folks to make it meaningful we will rehearse. Another option is that is we have full section or two we may schedule some sectionals for that night.

Tentative rehearsal agenda:

Continue sight reading potential festival tunes/rehearse any potential festival tunes identified on 12/13 rehearsal.
