CPB Member Email
Dear CPB!
THANK YOU for our spirited first rehearsal last night! It was great to see you all and hear you play! WELCOME to all of our wonderful new members! We are all very excited to welcome you to our CPB FAMILY!
CPB is the place to BE in 2023!
As you prepare for Thursday's rehearsal, please work to exaggerate all dynamics and stylistic aspects of each piece. Mark your vertical slashes on the beats in measures in which the rhythms are challenging as we discussed last night. If you focus on these couple things in each piece and practice your parts, I know Thursday's rehearsal will be AWESOME!
I have included several performance links to assist you in your preparation. As always, thank you for downloading and practicing your music prior to our rehearsals. During our rehearsals, please continue to take notes and bracket areas in your parts for you to practice prior to our next rehearsal.
