Boot Camp - Day 1, 2011

Hi all!

Boot Camp day 1 was a great success. We had over 50 students in attendance! More coming tomorrow!

We worked on ABBA's Mamma Mia - in case you want to work at home, here's a YouTube link:

(It's in D major and the first 2 notes a D and A)

After a little yoga (yes!) and group games, we had our first rehearsal. The combined Titan Orchestra and Sinfonietta group played Giant Slimy Squid and some fun Vivaldi. Tomorrow we work on more of the Vivaldi and read a Mambo piece.

Chamber played an Elgar Elegy and their Vivaldi.

Dress cool tomorrow - it's going to be hot again! Wednesday's 10:15 performance is the Whitney Moulton ensemble (bass, piano, drums) featuring South Salem's orchestra director Mr. Correa on violin. Parents are welcome to attend!

Here's to a great Boot Camp! Thanks to everyone who helped make it all happen today!
