TUGGA-DUT! (Reprise)
-
-
We had a bit more challenge tonight with “Italian In
Algiers.”
-
-
The “TUGGA-DUT” technique we worked on last week had gotten
a bit rusty by this week (for some of us).
-
-
Don’t forget that even high-level professionals need to
practice this technique regularly to keep their ability up,
so please try to take the time to do about five or six
minutes of this, a couple of times a day, it will be such a
great thing to help the band sound better!
-
-
Sure, it’ll be a bit of extra work for the next couple of
weeks, but wow, will it help!

RECORDING OF 2/16 REHEARSAL
-
-
Our friend Steve Northrup (Trombone) again recorded our
rehearsal with his digital recorder.
-
-
He has uploaded his recordings again, for those who’d like
to listen during the week. Hey, it might be a good thing to
listen to through a headset while you practice TUGGA-DUT on
“Italian In Algiers”!!
-
-
You can download the recordings (first half and second half)

IMPROMPTU BOARD MEETING
-
-
During the break at rehearsal we had an impromptu MCSB Board
of Directors meeting. Eleven of the 13 board members were
present.
-
-
Here’s a summary of the actions, in case you’re interested.
-
-
1. On eBay right now, there’s a library of 903 sets of
concert band music by many composers, price, $10,000. That
averages just over $11 per chart, while we currently pay
about $75 per chart. Due to the magnitude of the purchase,
the state of the budget, and other factors, the consensus of
the board was to not purchase this library.
-
2. The next board meeting will be March 8 at 3 PM.
-
3. The consensus of the board was that since there are 11
weeks between the March and May concerts, we will take TWO
weeks off after the March concert. The next rehearsal after
the March concert will be March 23.
-
4. Murrah High School band is soliciting advertisers for
their annual Awards Banquet souvenir ad booklet. MCSB
percussionist De’Ryan Brister is in the Murrah Band, and
will get credit for the ad. The board voted to purchase a
full-page ad for $100.
-
-
That’s all.
-

-
See you at rehearsal next Monday!

Take care,
