Hi Elgin Encores,
We will see you on Tuesday for another grand rehearsal. I hope you are all settling well into the month.

Band notes are posted on the website at: https://ottawanewhorizons.com/for-members/band-notes/
Last rehearsal, we looked at hemeola, where two contrasting rhythmic patterns are superimposed (in this case 3/4 time over a two-beat 6 pattern). More on this in warm-ups.
