Rehearsal Schedule for September 22

Here is the rehearsal schedule for next week:

Warm-up:
Foundations - p. 2, Concert F Around the Band
Foundations - p. 11, Scale in 3rds, Interval Study

Hymn to the Fallen

Duke Ellington - measures 1 to 55

He's Gone Away

Military Escort (all)

Eventide (ending)

On Parade (Trio - TRUMPETS!!!)

Ave Maria

Red Baron (1 - 43)

Questions to Ponder:
We had a lengthy discussion regarding the vertical structure of the first part of "On Parade". First of all, why is it important for me as a conductor to know this? Also, why isn't it enough that I know it? Why should I pass it on to you?

And again I ask in regards to "Hymn to the Fallen", how do we musically convey a feeling of reverence?

I look forward to hearing some of your thoughts!
