Lorenzo's Rehearsal List for Friday, June 27, 2025

[Manager NHBD]

Hi Band,

Lorenzo's rehearsal list for this Friday is as follows:

Scale and chorale
Star Spangled Banner (U. S. Armed Forces)
Banners on Parade
Music From Apollo 13
American Folk Rhapsody
An American Spectacular
Emblem Of Unity March
Dixieland…Front and Center
Shenandoah
The Genius of Ray Charles
Salute To The Armed Forces
America, The Beautiful

Encore: Stars and Stripes Forever March

The above will probably be our concert list for July 3 as well, but we'll wait to see if Lorenzo makes any changes in rehearsal on Friday.

There are a couple of songs that, in my opinion, still need some hard work before they will be concert ready. These are "The Genius of Ray Charles" and "Dixieland...Front and Center". To save us rehearsal time on these specific charts, I kindly ask you to work on your parts for these songs prior to rehearsal on Friday. If we all woodshed the areas that are giving us problems, we will be closer to putting the final polish on these numbers during rehearsal. Below are links to these songs for you to play along with as you work.

Dixieland ....Front and Center! - YouTube This one is our band from 2019.

 

The Genius of Ray Charles arr. by Michael Brown - Symphonisches Blasorchester des MV Östringen

As a reminder, this Friday will be our "Dress Rehearsal" prior to our concert. I ask only those of you planning to play the July 3 concert attend Friday's rehearsal.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Frank
