As french horn player myself I DEFINITELY know that the 4th finger is generally useless. 🤣🤣🤣

Can we say “all of the above?”

What ways do you count rests?

I'm sure the bird in the orchestra room would be Erin's voice saying "one more time you guys"

Practice, practice, practice! Even in the “off” season, aka Summertime.

Run those scales, attempt sight reading, try new instrument and/or music styles!!

Just make sure you practice!

The Jouben Family: A "Just Right" Fit for Rhea County! 🎺🌳

We are so proud to have the support of the Jouben Family and their local businesses! They are a true powerhouse in the local landscape—providing the skills and the products to get everything you need done through Signature Estates Lawn & Landscape and their Landscape Supply & Garden Center.

But that's not all! We are so blessed to have most of the family as part of our own orchestra family. With a Tuba, Clarinet, Trumpets, and even a French Horn player (sitting right next to me!), it’s a bit of a "Goldilocks" situation that leaves our orchestra feeling "just right."

Come hear the whole family perform this Monday!
📅 Monday, April 6th | 7:30 PM
📍 Rudd Auditorium, Bryan College
🎟 Admission: FREE!

Last night at rehearsal, one of our members said something that stopped us all in our tracks. While I don’t have the exact quote, it went something like this:

​"When I started, I just thought I might as well get this violin out of the closet. And now, here we are playing 'Poet and Peasant'! I never thought I’d be doing something this challenging again." — Kathrine Crist

​There are two big takeaways from this:

​You have to come to Monday’s concert! This is shaping up to be our best performance yet.

​Dust off your instrument and get your butt in one of our chairs! Whether it’s been months or decades, you won’t regret it.
