[BBCB-Mail] Concert Music & Tech Band Concert

[Ed Schwartz]

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry that I had to miss rehearsal last night. I really was 
under the weather with a fever and would not have been able to make 
it through the rehearsal. I also didn't want to pass germs along to 
anyone else. My fever broke a little while ago, so I am on the mend.

Here is the tentative list of music for our spring concert. These are 
the tunes that you should be working on. I do encourage you all to 
get a recording of the Suite of Old American Dances so you can listen 
to this as you practice. Also, practice the difficult passages with 
your metronome. If you don't have a metronome, you should consider 
getting one. The Music Shop (next to Zeppoli's behind Blockbuster) on 
University City Blvd., has some very good digital metronomes for 
around $20.
