Last rehearsals, tickets, freebies...
Thanks to everyone for a productive rehearsal Sunday. Your patience and creativity are wonderful!
I’ve glued together a recording of Heterophony from the rehearsal which I hope to get onto the blog or MySpace by Tuesday afternoon. I’ve also done excerpts from each tune you may have to remember. Use them for your ringtones this week!
Ticket sales are speeding along. We’re at least 2/3 sold already.
Please do whatever you have to do to get to Friday’s 3:00 rehearsal! If you need transport or a note for your school or a medical certificate (I’m sure playing leather instruments is a disease!) we’ll try to help!
We’ll also hold an optional practice Thursday from 3:30-5 in the church for the big piece. If you’re not clear about your part or just want to go over it in the space, come along.
If your Random Acts group or section need rehearsal space, you are welcome to practice there while the exhibition is open: Th. & Fri 9-3, except 1-2 concerts).
We have 10 artist passes to share for Junction Festival events. Check out the program www.junction2010.com.au and let us know which ones you want to go to. First come, first served. You can borrow and return the passes at the church when the Exhibition is open (9-5) or phone for other arrangements.

Score and practice info
Attention Players!
PowerPoint score updates are available. Contact Karlin for your copy if you haven't already received it by email. There are 2 versions: 1.3MB silent version or a 5MB version with rehearsal audio.
If you want a CD with other rehearsal audio tracks, like the low F and low D we'll be playing the riff over, let me know that too.
Your mission over the next weeks is to find the strongest and clearest sounds on your instrument and get enough control over them that they come out when you want them to. Convincing tone and clear rhythm are more important than 'right' harmonies. Play your best sounds over the low notes on the practice track or PowerPoint and choose those that fit best to your ear. During the riff, especially, please try to use notes you think fit well over the bass during the long notes and for the last note. The bass notes will be either the F or D we practiced with.
Your section will have at least 2 rehearsals, I hope, before the 22nd. The more comfortable you are as a section, the more convincing you'll sound. And if you make up some other good tunes, we can use them in the lunchtime concerts or the first half of the big Friday night concert. Section leaders will be appointed to organise rehearsals (if they haven't already).
Thank you so much for being part of this. It is such a remarkable project: bringing out the voices of these beautiful sculptural instruments and joining them together in a powerful collaborative creation.
