Re: MV Brass Update

["Ken Latta" <kwlatta@cox.net>]

Marcy,

Pardon the belated reply.  I saw Neal's picture on the CBS news on the 
Google roundup tonight.  I know you guys  are very busy - good luck with all 
your work.

You doubtless know about the San Diego bar/restaurant near the Convention 
Center that was a scene in the Tom Cruise "Top Gun" movie, yes?  (If I know 
anything considered fashionable, then everyone else already has heard of it, 
so this landmark is probably "old hat" to you and Neal.)  But if not, look 
for it - I was surprised at how small it was.

On the rehearsal schedule, we have only defined that we'll try to work a mix 
of Friday's and Sundayss - at the rehearsal on Dec 30 we read thru most of 
the Dumbarton House / Colonial Dames assembly of music.  At our rehearsal 
tomorrow night, Jan 6th, we'll hit these again and do some stopwatch work. .

Parallel, there is a list of supplementary pieces to round out a music-only 
program when we are not doing the multi-mode history/music theme.  We need 
to front-load our work so that we are not scrambling later.

Do you have your horn with you?  There are a handful of pieces that may be 
worthwhile scanning to send your way.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi. I'm at the war crimes trial of SSgt Frank Wuterich for the month of 
January acting as the legal clerk for the defense team. I'm sorry I'll miss 
brass choir this month. I'm hoping to resume music upon my return.

Ken, can you please resend me the rehearsal and performance schedule as I 
probably missed that Email in the prep for this trial.

Owen, I'll look at measures 19-23 and see if it can be resolved and send it 
in time for you to print for tonight's rehearsal.

Thanks everyone!  Be watching in the news: Neal, my husband and the primary 
defense attorney for Wuterich and it will be in the news. The last Haditha 
trial starts 4 Jan.

See in all when I return.

Marcy
