There are many facets in the
life of a young orchestra and they all need a lot of attention. During the last few months a few of us
spent a lot of energy on developing and running the orchestra various
activities. To name a few: attracting new members, coaching the orchestra in
playing together, promoting the orchestra, selecting and donating music to
play, finding a new home for rehearsals, planning a performance, and designing
and printing programs.
The orchestra as a whole is
indebted to all our musicians for contributing their time, talent and
enthusiasm. However, special thanks is due to Beverly Anders, violist, who
opened her extensive music library and provided us with beautiful sheet music
to perform; Karen Tuttle, music teacher, who not only provided us with sheet
music but gave of her time and expertise in helping organize the orchestra and
attract players; Lauren Allegri, wind player, who tirelessly transposed string
music for woodwinds and thereby added a full dimension to our orchestral sound
and created the opportunity for wind players to join in our fun; the management
and staff of the Jacaranda Library, who donated this wonderful rehearsal and
performance space and put up with our cacophony during some of our less than
tuneful rehearsals.
