**I need students to help set up the auditorium right after school. It won’t take long, but I really need your help so that we don’t have to cut into rehearsal time. Officers are required to help, but we need others as well.
Chamber Orchestra schedule:
Be in the auditorium by 4:20. You do NOT need to be in your concert clothes yet, but you may if you like. Rehearse from 4:30-5:30. This is our only opportunity to practice alone on stage, so you need to be on time!
5:30-5:55, rehearse Spartacus. At 5:55, go back to the orchestra room to change and practice. You are to remain in the orchestra room until it’s time for the concert to begin.
Philharmonic Orchestra schedule (and Concert students playing Telemann):
Be at the school by 5:00. You may either stay after school or come back. YOU MUST BE IN UNIFORM WHEN YOU COME TO THE FIRST REHEARSAL.
Be in the auditorium with instruments and music by 5:20. You should have tuned in the orchestra room.
Rehearse Spartacus 5:30-5:55, rehearse Telemann Sinfonia 5:55-6:35.
At 6:35, we will go back to the orchestra room for instructions, tuning, etc.
Concert Orchestra schedule:
Same as Philharmonic schedule.
If you DON’T play Telemann, you may either change now or come to rehearsal in your uniform.
Students who are not playing Telemann Sinfonia will go to the orchestra room at 5:55 to warm up. You MUST stay in the orchestra room the entire time.
