Hello Everyone:
What a wonderful rehearsal tonight (November 10th). Each week, you get your BCAS legs under you. There were so many lovely sounds. AND there were some parts of each piece that need attention. Keep working at home, on your part, in each piece. Here is next week’s rehearsal order. I have put ALL pieces on this program, and the rehearsal is in CONCERT ORDER:

Please remember our next week’s rehearsal is on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD. We will NOT rehearse on Thanksgiving eve since you all will be making a feast for your families.
Our Dress Rehearsal will be at the Cathedral on Wednesday, December 1st. Remember we will go from 7:00 to 9:30. Our Concert is on Sunday, December, 5th at 3:00 PM (NO BILLS GAME). Give those tickets to those who will LOVE this type of music.
I LOVED so many parts of tonight’s rehearsal. Keep up the good work. Ali Louis and I are working on a standing chart for the Cathedral. If we get it all done we’ll have it for the rehearsal on the 23rd.
Please, please get those tickets to those who will be so touched by our return and by lovely Christmas music and holiday classics.
I am very happy with our progress. 5 rehearsals after 20 months of NOTHING. Bravi to all of you.
