New York Times article on sound levels in orchestras
NY Times article

I'm sure the flute and clarinet sections wished there were such rules in place yesterday during our performance of Mars

No practice tonight, see you on May 5th.  Be sure to bring back your music!

New Calendar on www.mymccb.org

New and Improved!

I wanted to make you aware that I've added a new Google calendar feature to our web site.  This new calendar will allow me to make easier updates to our schedule and provide more more information.  www.mymccb.org/concertdates.htm if you click on a calendar entry, it will pop up a balloon with info about that date.  Within the balloon, there will be a link labeled "more details" if you click this link, you'll see a new screen and to the right of "location" you'll see a link for a "map".  Assuming I've entered a street address, a google map will show exactly where the event will take place.

In Addition to all of this, if you have your own google gmail account (they're free in case you want one) you can add the MCCB public calendar to you own calendar and all of the dates in our calendar will show up right along side your events.  There are many other public calendars that you can add such as Bengals schedules, Reds,.....

Congratulations / Thanks

We would like to congratulate Stephen Brown (Clarinet), Kristen Macke (alto sax) and Bubba Kraus (tuba) on their acceptance of council positions.  We'd also like to thank Barb Wagner (tuba), Will Black (tuba), and Marilyn Bourquein (french horn) for their service to the band.  It's great to see so many new faces willing to help keep the band running smoothly.

Reminder: Rehearsals resume tonight 1-15-2007

Now that the holiday's are behind us, it's time to get to work on the spring concert.  Even though the college doesn't have classes today, we'll begin rehearsals this evening.  Please make every effort to attend and be sure to bring your folder.  We need to collect the music from the previous concert, and it will help immensely if all music gets turned in at the same time.

See you this evening at 7:15 (hint: get there early so that we can start at 7:30)

Greg
