Dear Symphony, We have another round of sectionals for this week, with coaches for individual sections. Please see below for a complete listing of where on campus your sectional will be located. Please arrive at the CHECK IN table early so that you can receive directions. Violin I - Wilson Building, 1st floor classroom Violin II - Rehearsal Hall Viola - Wilson Building, 1st floor classroom Cello - Lobby Bass - Wilson Annex, 2nd floor Flute/Oboe - Wilson Annex, 2nd floor (Same room as auditions) Clarinet/Bassoon - Wilson Building, 1st floor classroom Brass - On stage Percussion - Enjoy the week off from both Percussion Ensemble and Symphony During the summer when Dr. Alexander and I discussed the season, we thought it would be a good year to really challenge the orchestra to levels yet achieved in the past. Roman Carnival was chosen for that exact reason - the mixture of sprightly melodic lines, displaced beats, and quick tempo is an undertaking for our long term musical growth, more than our technical. And so, to supplement this development, please take a listen to these three very different versions of this piece. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll see you on Sunday!
