From Dr. Whitmire:
Welcome to our 10th rehearsal of Spring 2015! Please sign in.
Thanks for a great Concert on Sunday. The most obvious thing was the sheer beauty of thesound. Many people remarked about that. Yes, there was a big missed entrance and a few spots that we weren’t together, but the overall effect was very good and many passages were absolutely transcendent. On April 12 we will really nail it. Paul will be there.
Absent? If you missed Sunday’s Concert for any reason, please see me. It you had previously spoken to me of an unavoidable conflict, please remind me.
Tonight 3/31 we will begin rehearsing in earnest for our May concert (The Settling Years, I will be earth, Still I rise [women]). I will still leave time for at the second half of the Requiem.
Please sell tickets. Our share of the expenses for this concert are almost $5000. The orchestra has expenses too. Sell your five or buy them and give them as gifts to your friends and family (Our tickets are $10; they are $20 at the door). Cash orchecks made to WMPO.
No Rehearsal this Saturday. Enjoy the holiday weekend.
April 11 will be a full rehearsal. We have to get ready for the concert.
