Good Morning, Stone Soup String Players.
Happy Spring! It has been a long time since we last gathered to make music, but we are looking forward to beginning again.
We are going to gather on April 21st from 7-8:30 at Lois's garage to begin playing together. We are hoping to find a venue in the Hackettstown area, but for the moment, this venue will be the place in which we can gather. Lois's address is 430 Greenwich Street in Belvidere. Please be sure to bring a chair, a stand, a stand light and a mask.
We are hoping to accomplish two things each week. First, we will tackle an orchestra piece as a section. Secondly, we will play some string repertoire.
Please go to our Stone Soup website and download your part for "Pirates of the Caribbean". We will tackle that piece on Wednesday.
Walt has been kind enough to be the person who will send us music to print and bring to rehearsals. Look for an email from him later this weekend with scans of some music we will also play on Wednesday.
We will not be able to print music in the moment, so please bring your part to the rehearsal.
We are hoping that many of you have been able to get a Covid vaccine, but we know that this is still a challenging time. We would love to have as many string players as possible so that we can once again make music together.
Would you be kind enough to do me a favor? Please take a few minutes to reply to this email to tell me if you will come to our weekly rehearsals again. It has been way too long since we last played together.
Lastly, we would love to have more string players become a part of our Stone Soup family. Please help us recruit some new players to grow our section.
Thank you for reading my email and responding. I am looking forward to meeting many of you this week.
Debbie
