6/1/22 Rehearsal Information (at Bishop Montgomery H.S.)
Welcome back PVSB members!
Rehearsals begin anew starting this Wednesday 6/1 at 7:30 pm. Our rehearsal space at Riviera United Methodist Church is unavailable for the next two weeks, so we will be meeting at Bishop Montgomery High School in the TBK Rehearsal Room 318 – see directions on the map below. Enter through the main gate at 5430 Torrance Blvd.
We are preparing for two upcoming performances on 7/4 and 7/9. Both events are vital in furthering our visibility in our community and supporting our operating budget. (We are getting paid to do this!)
For these next two rehearsals (6/1 and 6/8), we will mainly be working through the music for the first half of the concerts, which will be selected from:
Helen May Butler – Cosmopolitan America
Morton Gould – American Salute
Scott Joplin – The Chrysanthemum
Elvis Presley et al – Medley from Lilo & Stitch
Alan Silvestri – Captain America March
John Williams – The Patriot
Brian Wilson et al – The Beach Boys Greatest Hits
These will be the only two rehearsals for this half of the repertoire, so your participation is most appreciated. The repertoire for the second half will be determined shortly and rehearsed on 6/15 and 6/22.
Sheet music has been posted in the Members’ Area of our website (www.pvsband.org, password: pvsb1962) and is also available at:

Printing your music before rehearsal will greatly improve our efficiency. However, if you are unable to do so and need a copy, please either:
Email (mjhamamura@gmail.com) or text (714-742-2331) me directly with specific part requests before Wednesday afternoon and I will gladly print a copy for you, or
Arrive a few minutes early to make a copy from the master set. (A photocopier will be on site.)
I am looking forward to working with you all again! New members are also welcome, so help spread the word! (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IuqEfS2KpquyARW5GVKlNo5Ex56pXsBa/view)
