Updates on Repertoire

Ok hello fellow musicians,

Due to logistics considerations, I have decided to cancel "Concerto d'Amore" as well as "Bayou Breakdown". It is down to one word: Chimes.

As a discussion within the exco has decided that it would be in everyone's interests not to have the chimes deployed for the performance, the discussion on the repertoire today has been changed to such - and two of the pieces which we had decided have been scrapped.

1. Shenandoah
2. One Moment in Time
3. Hey Jude
4. I Believe I Can Fly

As you can see, the pieces are all slow ones...I am going to bring faster pieces down tomorrow - thanks Kenneth for pointing it out. :-)

Actually, we had tried out some rather interesting fast pieces, but general consensus was that we need to discuss the suitability of these pieces next practice when more people turn up.

As a deputy prime minister is a guest-of-honour for one of our performances, I hope that everyone will still continue to roll up their sleeves and work hard for the upcoming assignments for this band.

Naturally, we need to prepare a fanfare for that and we'll be trying out that for tomorrow. It's called "Fanfare No. 1". Can't find a youtube recording of it though :p.

Also, please keep your ideas for concert themes coming - the more the merrier!

See you tomorrow~!
