Times Square Flute Orchestra

The Times Square Flute Orchestra met today at 4 for the first rehearsal of two scheduled prior to the early morning performance on Thursday 8/13. Consisting of more than 150 flutists from all over the world, the event should get the convention off to a great start.

Darlene Dugan, composer and professional flute ensemble director, is conducting the ensemble and has 2 hours left to rehearse and refine the interesting program she picked.  Kathy Farmer organized the event and music distribution and seating seems to be going smoothly.

I do think they should have loaded bass and alto flutes in first, but that’s because basses are big!!!!

Ken Sherman, a long time NFA member/coordinator, is a westcoast woodwind player who is also sharing his bass flute talent. I had a very nice time sitting next to him, so hopefully we may had some time to chat at tonight’s rehearsal.
