Most importantly . . .
“This year has been off to a good start– and that’s the best part: PYCO has progressed much more through its pieces than last year. This rehearsal, Mr. Johnson has mentioned the Dragons and the Russians, and brought the famous (or infamous) Doctor Beat to “cure what ails us”. Nevertheless, an unforeseen circumstance has delayed the inevitable.
I learn something every rehearsal, each lesson important in its own right. As most of my section has experienced, we were taught the importance of persevering through the off-beats.
Most importantly, however, I learned the names of my section members!”
Arthur Halim, viola, PYCO
