Hmm. We’ve had an e-mail from a TV production company asking for participants for a dating show. Not sure what they’re trying to say…

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

Great to be back for our first rehearsal in a few months. Good to see everyone and lots of new faces too.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

At a lose end tonight in Stockbridge? Come along at 7.30 to hear us play Brahms, Dvořák at Justice in Stockbridge Parish Church

Assistant conductor Bryn takes to the podium.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@VAScotland actually, tomorrow may just be possible. Our chairperson will try and phone you tomorrow.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@VAScotland hopefully we can fix something up though.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@VAScotland apologies for not replying sooner - need to run it by the committee / conductor so this week not possible

Tonight’s rehearsal brought to you with added contra bassoon (which is sounding very cool indeed)

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@hannahkross ah yes, see what you mean.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@hannahkross my recording of the original version of handle’s firework music has no fewer than 14 bassoon, 4 contras and 2 serpents.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@hannahkross the contra or the more than three bassoons?

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@hannahkross I’ve seen more in a wind band context, but still. At this rate, our first bassoon will be able to get her contra out.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

An unprecedented 3 bassoons tonight.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

@moiradunworth it’s on Sunday 18th May.

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

Interesting new project @GradeOneOrch. Worth a look if you’ve ever fancied giving an instrument a try (or fancy trying a new one)

[Stockbridge Orch @snotco]

Fun first concert of term, although it seems Rachmaninov’s Isle of the Dead may be harder to play than it sounds.

That video should explain all the tweets about bonging over the last few weeks.
