Orchestra Welcomes New Faces!
Sixteen string players! Can you believe it? SBC's Worship Orchestra has never had so many and it's a pleasure to welcome 4 new violinists--Kathryn and Alex in the 2nd violin section; Chung and Darcy as first violins. Anyone know a cellist or two to join our ranks? How about a string bassist?
Bruce Pearson, our new conductor, spent the past few days brunching and lunching with members of the orchestra. The violins met him at the Claim Jumper on Friday afternoon and talked, laughed, at and shared for 3 hours(Rumor has it that only a 3:00 pm trumpet sectional tore Bruce away!)
I bet you didn't know that Bruce went to St. Cloud State University in Minnesota on a hockey scholarship--or that his first instrument was clarinet. He lives in Fountain Hills and confesses that he is still learning the names of the native plants and bushes in his yard and how to maintain them! You can read more about Bruce in the coming weeks. In the meantime, welcome aboard Bruce, and thank you for your expertise and your servant's heart.
I thought we'd bring back our Spotlight feature, which will shine the light on a member of the orchestra each week. We started this during the worship center construction and learned some neat things about the folks who sit next to us. Watch for that in the coming weeks as well.
