Response re choosing which pieces to play at the ONH concert was very good.
- Carmen was the overall winner.
- Tango Mariana was the second choice.
- Trampoline Jump and Polar Express were close as the third choice.
This practice focused on these pieces. We played through all four pieces, timed them, and we will be playing all four at the concert, in under 15 minutes.
Upcoming weeks:
- Next week: a full rehearsal, preparing for the community concert the following week. We will also review Items 153 and 154 from Tradition of Excellence as we will be playing these at the Community Concert.
- Community Concert, OTown Octaves will be performing on Dec 5 at Woodroffe Public School. Meet at the church at the usual time.
- Ottawa New Horizons Concert, Sunday, December 15, 2:00PM at Brookfield High School.
The concert for the ONH jazz bands will take place on Friday evening, Dec.13.
