Equipment
Always bring your instrument, music, pencil, as well as any mutes and other equipment (stand lights?) needed for rehearsals.
Music
It is expected that each individual member learn their music on their own so that our rehearsals can focus on the important musical aspect within the band rather than dealing with individual notes and rhythms.
Attendance
Your attendance and starting rehearsals on time is extremely important for us to prepare for our upcoming performances. However, sometimes things happen and we can't make a rehearsal or you are running late. Stuff happens! If you know you will be late or will need to miss, please notify band manager, Stacey Havill, as soon as possible r by email at manateeconcertband.bmanager@gmail.com.
General Rehearsal Information:
As you know, “Rehearsals” are for refining the music as an ensemble with concentration on Balance, Style, Phrasing, Interpretation, Intonation and Dynamics. Each individual player is responsible for playing and knowing their own part to the best of their ability so we can make the most out of our Tuesday nights together.
It is important to that we rehearse the difficult sections in order to bring up our level of musicality. Please do your part in keeping the talking to a minimum so that everyone can hear the instructions and information given, so we can all enjoy the exciting performance to come!
