A note from musical director Mr. Zaffuts
Throughout the show music is written in 11 of the twelve key signatures. You need to feel comfortable in these keys (as in know how to play the scale).
Woodwind and string parts require fast sixteenth note or sextuplet playing.
It is important that your sense of pitch (intonation) is strong and you have the technique required to perform the faster rhythms.
First thing you want to do is make sure you have cleared the performance and dress rehearsal dates on your calendar.
