Today was a monumental day for MCB: our first day of sight-reading "concert band" music. It is so nice to not have a pepband performance this week which allows us to take a much-needed break from being "peppy" and create a normal rehearsal atmosphere and routine.
Our task today: discover two classic pieces of literature. MCB will be doing a new arrangement of "Academic Festival Overture" by Johannes Brahms, and "Folk Song Suite" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Even with the freshman members of the band out for a retreat, the remaining musicians did an excellent job of sight-reading. Perhaps, they needed the break as much as the director did!
