Clarinet on the Town....
Hello! For those of you who don't yet know me, I'm Sally, the Orchestra and Auditions Administrator for the SSO and occasional member of the Merchant Sinfonia clarinet section. I'm going to be giving a clarinettists-eye view of the rehearsals each week, and sharing your views and (clean) stories from the pub as well :)
What a fantastic sectional with Barry Deacon last week! I could hear the difference almost immediately - the section was playing as one; breathing together, moving together and generally making a lovely sonorous sound. I was very proud of us all! There are some really tricky sections in the Offenbach, namely clarinet cadenzas and fast passages in f# major, but the section is certainly coping admirably - pats on the back all round!
As for pub stories this week.....lovely to see a member of the April term come and join us for a drink afterwards - that's true MS dedication! Any other April attendees who fancy popping in after a rehearsal: you're all welcome. I also have a recollection of a lot of photos being taken. Perhaps we need a group on a certain social networking site so we can share and comment on photos and arrange socials? Let me know what you think next week.
Well I'm off just now to practise my f# major scales.....
'Lock and loll'
Sally :)
