Sorry unrelated..broken string comment made me think of it...carry on.

Actually, this is is a Pete Orchestra Performance thread. Much more important than my wise crack of “breaking a string”.

I was being a wise guy. LOL Hey, @Pete_Violin, what will you be playing? This has been exciting following you on this journey.

@ABitRusty 
You are too funny! My husband probably thinks I have lost it because I am sitting here laughing. Nah. He is used to it after 45 years.
That “principal’s office” comment reminded me of something, and that got me laughing, too. I have to stop reading this. Laughing too much.

I have no idea... The email I recently received about the rehearsals is the first communication I have had from the orchestra in a couple months.
I will certainly have the music at our first rehearsal which is September 26th.
I will post updates here and let you know what the music is and what part I am playing. I will also discuss the music, challenges, the orchestra itself and everything going on.

UPDATEFinally!!! We have a rehearsal schedule.
I was just emailed the schedule today. The performance is October 26 and the first rehearsal is in about a week.
I do not know what the music is, or how the violins will be organized. I am assuming a placement audition will take place for this.
I am excited!
That is very excited. I'm super happy for you.

Here's where I'll be tomorrow morning. I'm very nervous, as I haven't played in an orchestra for nearly 40 years, and I thought their website said they were beginners, but I think I got that wrong!

I'm not going to take my Guillaume rosin, in case someone wants to borrow it and drops it on the floor, lol!

@Gordon Shumway
Is that how it works in orchestra? You are somehow obligated to share things? What if you said no? Would you be ousted?
Or is that just a UK thing? LOL!!!

@Gordon Shumway Oh, wow! Have fun and Break a String. Do not under any circumstances, break your rosin!
