Well the Hendricks Symphony orchestra (of which I'm a member) is playing at the 4th of July celebration in Plainfeild Indiana (down here on the west side of Indy).
Not only are we playing before the fire works - we are playing with the fire works.
So we are currently practicing firework music. Which includes all your favorites, Sound of Music, Music from Star Wars, various Sousa marches, Battle Hymn, 1812 and the William Tell Overature (the good part).
How come I remember last playing these pieces and they were really hard? Or at least the percussion parts were alot different and much more involved... Maybe it could be that the last time I played the 1812 I was in highschool. Damn memory.
We only have a handful of rehersals to go and we still have music coming in. But this group can do it - well as long as the parts don't get any harder.
So does anyone want to come down and see a free concert with fireworks? Let me know and we will find a place for you to stay.
Oh yeah - does anyone know where we can borrow a cannon from?
