My husband, my niece, and I attended the first rehearsal of the Cape Ann Community Band on Monday, and it was delightful for many reasons. First of all, I was finally able to play bari sax in a concert band (this band has a full sax section, with 3 altos, 1 tenor, and me). Because my husband plays the tuba, we often have the same parts, so I enjoy listening for him and playing with him (we have a soli in at least one song that sounded gorgeous). My niece seemed to enjoy this band much more than the Rockport band, because it is a more relaxed atmosphere with more beginner musicians like her, and the music is much easier. (and we are playing some very familiar songs, like Let It Go from Frozen). I also love the conductor, he is absolutely great at what he does, he is easy to follow, and he respects our time; rehearsal are 7pm-8:30pm on the dot. I am excited to see how this band progresses from our first rehearsal to our concert in August.
With delight,
♥Jamie
