CRS Spring Season 2026 BEGINS!!!

Good evening, CRS Musicians, supporters, and future CRS musicians!

In just a little less than two weeks from today we will have our first rehearsal of the Winter/Spring season!…Saturday, January 24th will be the FIRST CRS REHEARSAL date with a matinee CONCERT DATE set for Sunday, April 26th.  The concert will be at the Liberty Theatre and is set for 3:00pm, with a 12:30pm call time, and a pre-concert warm up beginning at 1:00pm.

This concert series should be an absolute blast, as it has been programmed to be lots of fun…with quite a bit of humor involved.  I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag too soon, but we are trying something a bit different with our theme this go around, and I think it has potential to gather quite a bit of traction…(there is a pun there…but I won’t say what it is quite yet).  If you have a guess as to the concert theme simply by looking at the music selections listed below, I’d love to hear your thoughts.  I’ll announce the theme in a reminder email next weekend, and I will have flyers presented at our first rehearsal, along with an explanation of how the theme will play along with the overall concert programming.     

Rehearsal Location & Times:

Location: Astoria High School

Address: 1001 W Marine Dr. Astoria, OR

(Please be ready to start rehearsal at 10am)! 

Sheet Music: Please contact crsmusicians@gmail.com for a link to the sheet music.  Please print just your part for each piece.  If you need help printing your parts, please let me know and we will help get that completed for you.  If you don’t know which part to print off, simply email crsmusicians@gmail.com and send a quick message over asking, and I’ll respond ASAP.  

*** Percussion:  I will be making percussion assignments within the next week, and hope to have those to you by the end of next weekend.

*** At this point, I have two more selections that may be added, but I want to see how the first 3 rehearsals or so move before handing them out.  

More information will be coming forth around CRS’s annual Membership ($10 a year), and the upcoming Annual Meeting in February. Please see our website for more information, and/or email us at crsmusicians@gmail.com you have any questions.

I truly hope to see you all there! If you know of interested musicians, please invite them, and/or have them reach out to the email address below.

Thank you!
