We met at the school in the morning and were introduced to our very colorful guide. We walked around the town of Detmold stopping at the church, town center, in front of the castle, and the Jewish Synagogue. We even did some singing along the way! Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein. (Many small changes will make a big difference.) After a nice flight to Amsterdam and a sleepy bus ride through the German countryside, the Philharmonic Orchestra has arrived in Detmold! Everyone was warmly greeted by their host families and we are excited to have our first rehearsal tonight! After a long flight and a scenic bus ride, we had a nice welcome in Detmold!
Philharmonic Students! Please note that there will be NO rehearsal this Wednesday night, 01/15/16. Take the time to view the attachment below and review the sectional spots on your own at home during your private practice. I care about our concerts in Germany, I care about our musicality as an orchestra, I care about your success! Show me that you care too. The very least I ask of you is to PLEASE PRACTICE THE SECTIONAL SPOTS LISTEN IN THE ATTACHMENT AT HOME.
Only a few short days until the McLean HS Philharmonic Orchestra departs for their orchestral exchange and performance adventure in Detmold, Germany! Keep an eye on this website, as Miss. Smith plans to post periodic blog updates from Germany (when wifi is available)! If you need to contact Miss. Smith while the orchestra is out of the country, it is preferable that you contact MHSOPA President Cheryl Ryan at cheryl.d.ryan@usa.net first. Thank you!
