After School Practice, Week of September 1-5

Yes, violists, we are having our first official practice this Friday, after school from around 3 pm to 4 pm. Everyone is invited, well to be frank, encouraged to join as we'll be practicing Walzer and Hungarian Dance no. 6.

The plan is to work on Section D of Walzer (which, by the way, sadly, still sucks since we can't seem to synchronize with the orchestra from what I've heard...and not to worry, I'm having the same problem too) and other troublesome spots like measures 164 onwards and so on. As for Hungarian 6, we'll be practicing the triple notes and make sure we're all in tune, then just enjoy the syncopated notes.

If you guys have any other measures you'd like to work on, just say the word and we'll do it.

Let's do our best for the concert this December and kick some ass.

P.S. I like our new piece a lot...the mass pizzicato effect is really something, huh? Although it sounds a little creepy.
