Orchestra: Beethoven Orchestra Assignments for 9.20.2019

Orchestra: Beethoven Orchestra Assignments for 9.20.2019

This week in class each student will have the opportunity to try out for a chair.  I recommend all students audition, but especially those students that want to be a leader and at the front of the section.  Those students that don’t audition for a seat will be placed at the back of their section.

For chair tryout during class this week, please practice the following:

  1. C Major or G Major 3 octave scale (Essentials for Strings, p. 45)
  2. Sounds of Celebration 1, Lord I Lift Your Name on High (play either the solo or ensemble part)

Last year’s students please practice the music for our pre-concert this Saturday. We will practice Friday from 4:45-5:30.

Arrive to JKHammons Hall by 6:30 Saturday night in concert attire.  Boys wear black bow ties.  We will perform from 6:55-7:20.  We have 40 free tickets to stay for the 7:30 concert.
