Local High School in Need of Reed Players!

Hi Friends!

I will try to keep this post brief.  Archbishop Prendergast High School in Upper Darby, PA (Delco!) is putting on a production of "Annie" (more to come on this later!), and we are currently looking for a few good musicians to help fill our pit. Predominantly, we are looking to fill some positions in the woodwind section (especially flute).  We are (desperately) in need of the following:

Reed 2 (alto/bari/clar/flute)
Reed 4 (alto/clar/flute/picc)
Reed 5 (clar/flute), tuba, and aux percussion (including mallets/bells)

I am covering the Reed 1 book, and we have someone covering the Reed 3 book.  I am excited to report that in addition to playing clarinet and also sax, I will also be playing a little soprano sax, and with any luck some flute, for this show.  (More on that later also.) That said, as much as I'd like to, I cannot unfortunately play four reed books simultaneously.  So that's where you come in :)

If you or someone you know is willing and able to help out (you will also earn a "modest" stipend), please please get in touch with me as soon as possible.  You can contact me via e-mail at tinadmusic@gmail.com, or via Facebook, and I can get you in touch with the music director, Rick Sayers, for any questions about pay, etc.  If you haven't had the opportunity to work with Rick in the past, he is a fabulous director, who has a knack for making these shows really enjoyable.

The show runs the weekends of November 12th - 14th and 19th - 21st.  I would be happy to provide anyone with a complete list of rehearsal and show times, upon request.  Rehearsals started yesterday with the pit, and the books are very manageable.  The first rehearsal with the cast is this coming Sunday, October 24th, from 1 pm - 5 pm.  We would love to be able to have some more reed players by then.

Thanks for your help!!
~Tina
