[BBCB-Mail] Holiday Pops Concert Program

[Ed Schwartz]

Greetings All!

Here is the program order for Sunday's concert. 
We may move a thing or two around at the dress 
rehearsal on Wednesday, but this should be pretty 
close to the order.

DRESS REHEARSAL
Please be in your seat ready to go at 7:30 on 
Wednesday (that is tonight unless you are up late 
Tuesday like me). We will be in the Blacksburg 
High School Auditorium.

Percussion; please come early to move your 
hardware so you are ready at 7:30. Anyone that 
can be there at 7:00 to help set up chairs will 
be appreciated.

John Howell has sent me a note to forward to the 
band with a few corrections. Please make a note 
of this to save us time in rehearsal.

John; please forward this to the strings.

CONCERT
The concert will be at 4:00 pm next Sunday, 
December 16. Please be there no later than 3:30 
pm. If you are bringing food, please allow time 
to get the food to the cafeteria before 3:30, so 
you can be in your seat at 3:30 for warm ups. I 
would appreciate a few extra hands at 2:30 to get 
the stage set. I will be there no later than 2:00 
to get the sound set up. I think that Amy also 
plans to be there at 2:00 to set up the 
reception. She can use some extra hands as well. 
After the concert, please plan to help with the 
reception or help clear the stage, and if you 
have children there, make sure to get them to 
Santa first (priorities!).

As always, thanks for your all of your hard work 
and patience! This will be a very fun concert and 
I am looking forward to having a great time with 
all of you! I know that the audience will be 
impressed!

If I don't get a chance to talk to you after the 
concert, I wish each and every one of you a 
wonderful holiday season, and I hope that your 
participation with the our joint concerts have 
been as rewarding for you this year as it has 
been for me! I feel truly fortunate to be a part 
of this community and look forward to working 
with you all in the new year!

Please let me know if you have questions!

Thanks!

Band:

Someone said, "Only God is perfect, and we aren't 
too sure about Her!"  (Hey, it wasn't me!!)

Here are the corrections that have been found so 
far in the new medley "I'll Be Home for 
Christmas/The Christmas Waltz."

BAR 48
Clarinet 1:  E# - C#
Clarinet 3:  whole note F natural
Trombone 1:  whole note Eb

BAR 87-88
Bari Sax:  B natural resolving to Bb on the downbeat
Bass Clarinet:  E natural resolving to Eb on the downbeat
Trombone 1:  F# - F natural - F# resolving to F natural on the downbeat


Once again, apologies for the non-beginning-band 
key signatures, but that's what it took to make 
this chart work.

John
