EE: 06 February

 

Hi Elgin Encores,

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

-Adrian

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.

Volunteer concert: Wednesday 25 April, 7:30PM, Oakpark Retirement Residence (2 Valour Dr).
