Hello everyone,

This Saturday, Oct 3rd, there will be an early violin 1 and violin 2 sectional from 9:00-10:00am in room 041. Please arrive by 8:45am to be tuned and ready to play at 9AM.

From Ms. Livingston regarding absences: “Only the following students are excused from sectional (students taking the SAT, or students who have classes at Duke that may conflict--ie theory or chamber music.)  All other violins are expected to attend the violin sectional.”

The regular rehearsal schedule is as follows:

10:15 Sospiri with harp Sospiri audio link

10:45 Lincoln Portrait Lincoln Portrait audio link

11:30 Coriolan Beethoven Overture audio link

Ms. Livingston would like everyone to remind everyone to listen to the audio and also to use a metronome when you practice.

Ms. Shirts would like to remind you that you’ll need different concert attire than in past years. We’re going all black. Please read Ms. Shirts description of the dress code here: DYS Concert Dress Code

Email me if you will be absent or if you have questions. Thanks!
