Rehearsal

Due to the number of COVID cases in the Salt Lake Valley, the Board decided that it would be best to split rehearsal time so that we can practice better social distancing. As such, the schedule for 1/29 (and probably 2/5) at City Hall will be as follows:

9:00 – 10:05: strings
10:25 – 11:30: winds and brass
*wind and brass players please arrive around 10:15 so that the
strings have enough time to clear the room before you enter.

We will hand out copies of Finlandia and sight-read it along with the Elgar Cello Concerto and the first movement to Anson Baliel’s Symphony #2 (a new composition). Please use the links below to access and print your part to the Elgar and the Baliel. Copies will not be available at rehearsal.

Elgar: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vWqMrgtm3Dsxr7a9-KhFhTWOrNyHjHzq?usp=sharing

Baliel: <sent in e-mail>

We also strongly recommend the use of high-quality masks whenever possible. String players can remain masked while playing, and wind/brass players would only need to remove their masks when actually using their instruments. Our goal is for everyone in the ensemble to be safe and to avoid ANY COVID infections from rehearsal attendance.

Thank you in advance for your hard work and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to bring them up with board members in a private setting.

Dress Rehearsal

Dress rehearsal for tonight’s concert!

The dress rehearsal will be at the Viridian (the West Jordan Library, just southwest of city hall).

Please bring a music stand!

Call time for the performance tonight is 6:30.

If anyone is available to come early (~8:20) to help roll the timpani from city hall to the viridian, that’d be awesome (even better, if you have a truck or van ;)

Dear Members of the West Jordan Symphony,

Great news! Juan Diego High School has graciously agreed to let us use their bandroom for rehearsals, starting THIS SATURDAY (2/6). I realize that this is somewhat short notice, but I would rather start with whoever can come rather than losing a week of rehearsal. Please arrive at the building between 9:15 and 9:25 so that we can begin rehearsing promptly at 9:30. Rehearsal will likely go until a time between 11:00 and 11:30 (we only have two-pieces in-hand right now). As a reminder, at this time we are only able to include string players for this concert.

Please park in the south parking lot, and enter through the south doors, turn into the left hallway after entering the high school, and the band room will be on the left.

Also, if at all possible, please print off your part from the links below and come to rehearsal with the music. If you are unable to do so, please e-mail me and let me know by 7:00 PM on Friday so that I can print you a part.
Vivaldi Concerto (all 3 movements)

Rehearsals Begin (Strings Only)

Dear West Jordan Symphony Musicians,

Thank you for your patience as we navigate the unknown during this pandemic. We, the WJS Board, want to make sure that we are putting your health first in all of our decisions. We have reviewed many studies and have had many discussions. Part of what we considered is that strings-only ensembles are safest for indoor rehearsals. We will plan on starting the season off with strings only (and piano/percussion). 

The start of our season will be Saturday, September 19, 2020, we will rehearse that day at Juan Diego High School as we cannot use West Jordan City Hall. We’re still looking into using the Viridian. Strings, stay tuned for any updates if we need to postpone our start date. Our rehearsal time will be shortened: 9 am - 10:45 am with a 15 min. break. 

Winds and brass players, I still want you to participate, so I invite you all to form into 2-3 groups and prepare music on your own similar to our Solo and Ensemble. You are most definitely invited to play at the October 24th concert, so please aim for a performance on that evening. Get together and practice anywhere: parks, someone's backyard, hopefully the Viridian's amphitheater on Saturdays (when I know I'll let you know!).Choose the days and times that work best for you to rehearse. I hope you'll be creative and try to continue making music.

Music will be scanned and sent to you with links to recordings via email. I hope that due to our shortened rehearsal time, we can make an effort to find some time during the week at home to practice. 

I miss making music with you all! I can't wait to return to a bit of normalcy. I hope music will lift you up during this strange chapter of our lives. 

Music to look forward to:

Beethoven - Allegretto from Symphony 7
4 Selections from Operas (Habanera, Triumphal March, Flower Duet, and Largo al factorum)
O Fortuna from Carmina Burana
Send in the Clowns
Preludio to La Traviata 

All the Best,

Denisse
