Symp[hony orchestra's simply have to make themselves more exciting for the general public, not just us educated musicians. Tomorrow, our Beloit/Janesville Symphony will be playing "Peter & the Wolf" for all of Beloits public school fifth graders. Two things have been done to make this childrens concert more understandable ane relevant. 1) all of the students have studied the story and instrument sounds in the general music classes, so most have some basic understanding regarding what they will be hearin "live". 2) one of our staff spent time with one general music class who wrote an original tune to accompany a student-produced video. Our director scored the tune for orchestra and we will be presenting the music and the video as part of this concert. It really makes the whole concert more meanfngful when some of their own are featured--in this case, a whole general music class and it's "film crew". The production lasts about 7y minutes, is quite elementary, musically, but will be a hit with the audience, I'm certain. Just our way of making an otherwise "boring" concert a little bit more exciting for our kids.

BTW--my clarinet solo's were flawless last eve in rehearsal (with my Forestone reeds, lol) Just hope I play as well when the hall is filled. "P&tW" with only one rehearsal, tomorrow at 8:45 am--wish me luck, y'all.......
