<p>Yeah, the part that I like the best about movement for Rosa is that it doesn't end on a I chord: Effectively it never resolves, very much like the battle for equality.
--O yeah, and I like that part that it has a cool alto sax/flute solo thing at the beginning. That would have to be my second favorite solo I have ever played (Curnow's "Devil's Dream" from Four Colonial Country Dances is the best!)</p>
<p>sanguine that is exactly why I love that song...it sutbly conveys the message through music, something that is cool. </p>
<p>edad that is an interesting proposal...I might look into doing that for a couple of colleges. Has anyone else sat in on a rehearsal before? Would you just contact the band/orchestra director?</p>
<p>My daughter observed rehearsals at a few schools before making her decision and was not the only one doing so. She found it to be a valuable thing to do. </p>
<p>If possible, contact the director in advance. Most will not mind if you show up a couple minutes early, introduce yourself and find a place where you will be out of the way. At one school, the director noticed her watching through the glass in the rehearsal room door and waved her in right in the middle of rehearsal.</p>
<p>I suggest you call and/or email and make appointments to meet with the music dept head and also arrange for a lesson with the instructor for your instrument. This type of visit will give you a good idea of the music level at the college. Also if there is a fit and the music dept is interested in you, this can help with admissions. Admissions is not likely to know if the music dept really wants a good clarinet.</p>
